Anyone know of a "Trim" or "Fillet" tool?
-
Looking for something to trim/fillet 90 degree corners and also Trim (like in AutoCAD) where you set a knife edge and extend selected lines to the knife edge.
Any help would be appreciated!

There are several...
Look at my 2dToolets.
It include a 'Fillet' tool - that works on any two picked edges that could [or do] intersect [aka they are coplanar].
If you set the radius to 0 in the VCB it acts like Trim/Extend on the lines, otherwise it rounds the [potential] corner to the given radius and adds a cpoint at the arc's center.The tool toggles to a 'Chamfer' - which is similar, but that cuts the corner off by the specified dimension - or you can also enter two distances in the VCB to give an slanted chamfer...
That toolset also includes 'Adjust' which lets you select target lines/curves and then select lines to 'adjust' - i.e. extend or trim back [lengthen/shorten] to the target line[s]...
Use the SCF PluginStore to search/browse for such tools...
There are lots... -

I use these tools to make a filet, or any type of cut on a solid. It is especially great for shaping a solid. Just remember, the face you select will remove the material in the solid.
I work with steel beams, angles, and pipes, I use these tools to cut and fit all theses to each other.
Wish to cope a series of pipes to a larger pipe, these two tools make it a breeze.
Note, it is not 100%, however, Ctrl-Z returns you to the original.
Takes some imagination to determine what you want to do, but when you get the idea, you will find it easier to use than the solid tools on some applications.
Experment. Read the directions, view the videos.
