    Pro 6 Custom counter with radius corner

    I'm catching on to using the custom counter top but I have a new problem. How to make a radius corner. I am still experimenting and looking at other threads, but so far I'm stuck.:mad:

    Fillet........? I tried using the fillet tool. The fillet dbx asked for a rad. I used 8" >okay but nothing happens. I tried the break line tool and made a square corner (but they want a rad) so I may have to leave it square for now and tell the top builder put a rad on that corner.

    Can you set edit behavior in preferences to fillet?
    You then need to drag the corner in..

    This is all I found Don't know what to do with it I emailed him a pic of the corner, he liked it so I'll just forgo the trouble for right now. Maybe I'll learn how to do it at some point

    I can't seem to get my images to come out clear in paint shop. I zoomed in at it still looks fuzzy.

    Allen, I could never get the fillet to work. He emailed me back and likes the way I did the corner anyway. Adjusted the overhang to what they want so I'm leaving this way.

    Sorry I should have taken the time to see what Pro 7 has.
    The edit toll that is highlighted will fillet corners..
    They are tools you might have to add to your tool bar..

    Thanks Allen. I got it. I had to move the corner back to a square point. Then The help said to select the object>then>the edge>when I clicked on the fillet tool the menu opens up to set the radius>then click on the edge to fillet>then the other edge> and you get what I have.

    Something new to contend with. Placed sink in custom counter top. Sink fits properly. Rim on top of counter top. But, counter top shows through sink compartments.

    So now what Allen

    In Chief I believe there's a way to cut a hole in the countertop for the sink. I don't remember ever seeing that capability in Pro.

    Well, I couldn't let it lie, so I kept working on the angle cabinet and custom top in another plan. I got the sink to work and not show the custom top through the sink compartments, but it was work. Only took me about 20 minutes, but I had to make each section of custom top around the sink, and of course had to lap the sink rim (like a sink would lap the top in real life) makes sense, but it would be nice if we had the counter hole in pro.
