Hi, I am having a tough time created a rounded cap or fillet on the ends of a chair that I am modeling in Rhino 5 for windows. Here is a screenshot. thanks in advance.
Patch creates a flat cap here. I tried the fillet command and it is not reading properly due to there being a closed curve. I also tried blending surfaces to no avail. Finally I duplicated the border, drew arcs on the x and y axis and attempted a curve network that didn't work. I know for a fact it's planar bc it caps etc. I just need it to be rounded. Ugh
split the curve in half and use the two curves as rails and sweep2 a profile that will be your high point. You can also stop the rails at a certain point, and do another sweep2 at the resulting edge of the new surface and outside portion of that original edge - to get something that looks more like it is blending into your original form.

Quick Rhino rounded fillet on planar curve question
Hi, I am having a tough time created a rounded cap or fillet on the ends of a chair that I am modeling in Rhino 5 for windows. Here is a screenshot. thanks in advance.
Have you tried patch? Or, if it is a planar curve, create a planar surface and fillet the edges?
