Hello All,

The answer to this is probably obvious, but I haven't figured it out and can't find a thread that directly addresses it. I would like to be able to fillet the corners of polygons or polyline curves.

For example, I'd like to be able to take a rectangle or pentagon and parametrically control the radius of rounded corners. I guess I'm too used to doing this sort of thing in Rhino... I'm hopeful there's a nice way to do this before I end up having to write my own probably rather horrid wrangle to do it... Am I entirely missing some node that would do this?!

Thanks in advance,
Mary

try PolyBevel SOP
change Group Type to Points

there are some issues if your curve is an open curve with shared points (when first and last vertex share a point)
so make sure to do the polybevel while the curve is Closed

Thank you so much, tamte! I had tried polybevel to do this before but wasn't getting it to work, for both the reasons you mentioned -- open curve and not setting the group type specifically to points.

Phew, the world is much better now.

Thanks again,
Mary
