        It's hard to tell what you have going on now without seeing the file.

            oh my goodness, I think I got it to work - I deleted a few of the guidelines and zoomed out - not the prettiest looking object but it does the job

            thank you for sparing the time to help

            the key seems to be to note where the blue/purple dots appear and keep guides to a minimum

              Good for you. If you use the inferencing tools you really shouldn't need much in the way of guides.

                        This is a set of tools "on Surface".

                          I mean fillet on 3d surface. See attached:
                          Say you have AB and CD lines. The red fillet connectig AB abd CD is demanded.

                            Street - underground parking ramp junction. Example from real life (VERY common an tedious task).

                              Somehow, you are asking if I could implement teh equivalent of BezierSpline 'on surface', of which the filetting is just one tool.

                              That's probably possible, but non trivial.

                              Actually the real difficulty with TOS is to handle the sharp changes in surface, because this is where directions may change abruptly. If everything was on a smooth surfce it would be simpler.

                              I'll think about it.

                                I'd gladly use this 3d fillet on more or less 'calm' surfaces and get an error report on sharp ones. no problem.

                                  Hi!

                                  As you can see in the screenshot, I selected two neighbouring surfaces. Offset on Surface creates one big offset for them both, together. I was thinking, if it's possible that offsets would be created separately, independently for each surface?

                                    Why don't you select each face for individual offset?

                                      Because in another model I have tones of surfaces to offset and selecting them one by one would be haaard.

                                        Use one of lattisizers and then intersect it

                                            Dear Fredo,
                                            Hello, I kindly reach you to ask you, Is there any possibility to add curve line to the Tools On Surface plugin or link BezierSpline plugin with Tools On Surface in order to draw the F-spline or Catmull Spline. Because sometimes we need to draw the special curve on curved surfaces. (Attachment file).
