Its not often you see 'fillets and chamfers' are tip-line features in the readme for CAD packages. But good on you for building something. | ||

This is honestly the first thing I look for with anything new claiming "CAD". Roughly every other week there is a new "The (programmable) CAD that fixes everything!" post on the front page, just for me to open them up excitedly and noticing that they use a mesh kernel and will thus never be able to provide fillets and chamfers painlessly (for the user). All while they are absolutely essential for a lot of designs, especially in 3D-printing, a well-placed fillet/chamfer can make the difference between an object that breaks upon looking at it funny and one that can bear significant load. | ||

> Its not often you see 'fillets and chamfers' are tip-line features in the readme for CAD packages. Well the readme states the following: Solvespace on the other hand gets the workflow part right, but falls short by not importing STEP and the geometry kernel not supporting chamfers and fillets. So I assume that's where that comes from. | ||

Well, implementing fillets and chamfers is no easy task, so it's well deserved to be there. Source: been there, done that. | ||

fillets and chamfers are at the same time both ridiculously difficult and ridiculously important. | ||

It has been one of the main complaints about openscad for some time | ||
