Fillet edges in drawings
Fillet edges are lines that define the boundary between straight faces and curved faces in the model. Examples of building objects containing fillet edges are profiles with curved fillets, slabs or contour plates with curved chamfers, and curved polybeams. The fillet edges can be shown in all drawing types for parts and pours. Fillet edges are visible by default for new drawings, and invisible for drawings that are created in a Tekla Structures version earlier than 2016.
Show fillet edges in drawings
To show the fillet edges, you need to set the option Fillet edges to on in part properties. For profiles, Exact representation might be required to show the fillet edges, depending on the profile. You can control the fillet edge visibility in Part properties and in Pour object properties on drawing, view and object level.
To set the fillet edges visible on drawing level in a general arrangement drawing:
Examples
Example 1
Below is an example of fillet edges in the model:
Below is an example of parts in a drawing showing the fillet edges (Fillet edges > on in part properties):
Below is an example of parts in a drawing not showing the fillet edges (Fillet edges > off):
Example 2
Below is an example of a hollow-core slab in the model:
Below is an example of the hollow-core slab in a drawing showing the fillet edges (Fillet edges > on in part properties). As you can see, the representation is not very clear when the fillet edges are visible:
Below is an example of the hollow-core slab in a drawing not showing the fillet edges (Fillet edges > off):
