I could use an Uppercase Format Option in Auto Text. Months in dates appearance would be improved if Auto Text allowed formatting in Uppercase.

If job must be done solve it brute way:
I'take what you've RoundCorner created and manually purge and stitch problematic areas and then soften back. In your specific case it'd take ~15 min.
There's an alternative to bend the orthogonal 'wall' containing filleted hole (see Flowify or CLF Shape Bender) but it could be less accurate.
P.S. I'd recommend to contact Fredo6 and show him your case may be he'll refine his filleting algorithm in the future.

Thanks for taking the time to look at this. Brute Way is the path I know. Wanted to see if there's a newer manner with a bit more finesse.

Don't want to bother Fredo with this. He's doing a SUPERB job. This challenge gets down into a Level Of Detail that, in my opinion, goes beyond the Scope on his Magnificent Scripts.

Again; Thanks

I had to do it in MoI3D and export to .skp. As you can see the final mesh to get it correct is highly triangulated.

WOW; very impressive Rich. Thanks for the Lead.

Hi Nino,

Try redrawing with a reduced segment count in both the main pipe and junction pipe before using Fredo6 Round corner

Yeah; have tried reducing number of Segs also. These are as far down as the Client is willing to accept. Have reduced Segs just on the Section where the small Tube penetrates the Large Sewer Pipe. Still get joints that can only be "fudged" with Triangulation.

Thanks for Input.

fredo6 round corner

Fantastic Amazing Tool. But No-Cigar. I get too many Overlaps. Even worked down to ONE Segment and reduced the offset; No Dice.

No Prob when Geom changes Direction in ONLY ONE of the Axes, but when a segment is oriented in More Than One Axis from the previous Vertex, stuff happens.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Nino

Client would like to see a "Quarter-Round" Edge on the INSIDE Wall (Face) of the Sewer Pipe.

Looks simple on the customer's 2D (DWG). Might even try a "Follow Me" . . . . but that does not work. As the Sewer Pipe's circumference turns, so does the Qtr-Round.

Had this challenge before with Handrails on a Circular Stair where Follow-Me cannot keep the profile on a Path that changes More Than One Axis at the same time. Solved that challenge with the famous "Follow Me And Keep" script by Wikii, among others.

Wondering if there's a new approach to this challenge before dusting off these 'Ol tools again.

Scrapbooks CANNOT handle symbols comprised of NESTED "Groups Within Groups".

It will look fine on the Layout File of your Scrapbook drawing BUT; when the file is saved as a Scrapbook and its symbols are brought onto a New LO Sheet, THE FRONT & BACK ORDER WILL BE IMPROPERLY SHUFFLED.

DO NOT MAKE GROUPS WITHIN GROUPS (Nested Groups) FOR SCRAPBOOK COMPONENTS.

Nested Groups in Scrapbook Elements

As usual, You All Gentlemen are indeed Correct. Challenge is that, upon "explode", entities fall off their respective Layers onto the Default (Current) Layer. Only option is to individually explode each of the multiple layers on their respective original layers.

So in the DWG...
Select All.
Explode All.
Audit [Fix==Yes].
Purge All [including Nested objects].

Import into SKP...

Yup, that would be the "big hammer" approach. Trouble is file balloons to 11MB and I loose control to turn unnecessary Layers on/off.

I saved the file back to 2010 DWG format & imported it into SKUP 2014 without a problem.
Note the Washer+ block on the Appliance layer is dynamic, so may be a problem. Using "+" in a block name may also cause issues.

PLUS Sign on a Block ! That sheds a whole lot of light on a potential culprit. Interesting.

Not finding any value on CAD software over SKP for the last 10-years, sorry to say I've not kept up with DynCompos on AutoDesk. Any feelers out there to pursue importing the DWG and seeing if you get the Fridge and the Freezer imported onto the kitchen?

Thanks for the lead. I might be rusty on DWG. Plus Signs on DC's or Block Names themselves is still a liability within SKP importing operations nonetheless.
