Fillet Curve rollout (creation time)
Radius—The radius of the fillet arc in the current
3ds Max units. Default=10.0.
This parameter is animatable.
Tip: If the fillet you initially create is in an error
state,oftenthisisbecausetheradiusisnotlarge
enough to bridge the distance between the two
cur ves. Increasing the Radius va lue gives you a
correct fillet. The fillet becomes an arc displayed
in the dependent object color (green by default).

TrimFirstCurveandTrimSecondCurvegroups
These two group boxes let you control how the
parent curves are trimmed. The controls are the
same in each. "First" and "second" refer to the
order in which you picked the parent curves.
Trim Curve—When on (the default), tri ms the

parent isn’t trimmed.
Flip Trim—When on, trims in the opposite
direction.
Seed 1 and S eed 2—Change the U lo cation of the

is a choice of directions, the direction indicated by
the seed points is the one used to create the fi l let.
