Creating a fillet around a the center of a wheel hub...
-
Is there a plug in or a way of using the fillet tool to create a fillet around a circle? I have one circle inside another larger circle, where the smaller circle is the hub/bearing of the wheel, and the larger circle is on a lower plane than the inner circle. I want to create a fillet between the 2 circles/layers. how can I do this, as when I select the follow me tool, the warning comes up that it can't be used on curves... see pic below. Thanks!

Something must be slightly screwed up if the follow me says that, an edge must be not planar.
However, There are a few ways to do it.
use the move tool to move the circle. Select the highlighted ring, and drag in the direction of the arrow.
You can also use the scale tool. Or move and alt to autofold.

Hi Mark, hi folks.
One of the edges on the triangle that defines the fillet seems to be smoothed. Thats the one against the hub.
Try unsmoothing it before using the Follow me tool.
There is an easy way to draw this kind of model.
