If there's a way to round exact corners of figures in FreeCAD? (lemmy.ml)

Hello!

Is there a way in FreeCAD to round off the corners of shapes specifically like this? Without rounding the edges themselves (i.e., the rounded corner tapering off to "zero" at the edges).

Thank you

Am i looking at the intersection of a box with a sphere, where the corner is made flat and resutls in a circle?

Did you already find a solution?

    i had a go at it. But, i'm a newbe, so i learned a few things, but im not assuming you can use it ;)

    First i made a box and a sphere. (For the screenshot i set the box transparant, and the view in 'perspective')

    Then did Part -> Split -> Boolean fragments

    Then did Part -> Compound -> Explode Compound

    And removed/hidden the excess parts:

    Next would be to fuse what's left i guess

    But that last part, to flatten the tip with a circle which touches the 3 sides... i'm stuck
