Rough Shape
Someone over on Reddit asked how to make a rough shape similar to the attached part. Can anyone use a fillet on the top and bottom that transitions? I figured Full Round Fillet would just do the math, but it doesn't.

Re: Rough Shape
The two cuts don't go to the wide end, so 2 narrow flats are created, which impacts the fillets.
Re: Rough Shape
I added operations so that the original block runs to the end, eliminating the land I showed in my previous post.
I reorder the fillets and made the long edges as VarFillets computed at half the end widths in the sketch picture sketch (I had to add these dimensions).
Then I did each end, increase the radius to minimize the remaining central oval. (SW2019 attached)

Re: Rough Shape
Interesting Kevin. I only have 2018 here at home. I'll have to take a look at what you did when I get back to work. I honestly don't mess with fillets too often, but thought the software should be able to do it on it's own...Good to know it does and I'm just ignorant.
