Fillet 
Access: Open this function from the following location:
-
Select Faces > Create Faces > Fillet from the menu bar.
Create fillet faces between two (2) sets of smoothly connected faces. Each set may consist of one or more faces that may be trimmed or split as required. Sometimes it can be unneccessary to trim or split faces when performing a fillet operation, such as when one face will be needed later in separate face operations-The fillet operation provides that option.
The Fillet function allows you to create fillet faces with a Constant Radius or a Variable Radius. You can also trim the fillet faces, or split them if this will yield better results than trimming (for example, to develop a smooth binder that can be pulled off the part).

Variable Radius |
