Summary0003554: fillet fails on cut torus
DescriptionBeen using python scripting to make parts. Fillet is finicky. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it gives an error message:

Part.OCCError: BRep_API: command not done

and the fillet fails. It can fail on a simple piece, but work on a more complicated shape that is other shapes fused with the simple piece.

Investigating, the simplest fail I found so far is a cut down torus-- sliced in half like a bagel, then cut in half again. See the included python script.
Steps To Reproduce
#makeFillet fails in this python script:

import math
import Part
from FreeCAD import Base

DEG2RAD = math.pi/180.0
rd = 72
origin = Base.Vector(0,0,0)
znorm = Base.Vector(0,0,1)
xnorm = Base.Vector(1,0,0)

boxcorner = Base.Vector(-rd*2,-rd*2,-rd*2)
cutbox = Part.makeBox(rd*4,rd*2,rd*4,boxcorner,znorm)

fulltorus = Part.makeTorus(rd-4,4,origin,xnorm,0,360)
halftorus = fulltorus.cut(cutbox)

basecyl = Part.makeCylinder(rd+2,9,origin,xnorm)
halftorus = halftorus.cut(basecyl)

#This fillet fails
filletht = halftorus.makeFillet(0.2, halftorus.Edges)

@bzipitidoo please test this on 0.18dev as well (there is an appimage). Also please, per our guidelines (yellow banner at the top) post to our forums before opening a ticket.

I tested this script with makeFillet on version 0.18.14220 and 0.18_Conda Appimages. The problem with makeFillet is present in both 0.18 versions.

For the Python challenged, an actual FreeCAD document would be nice. I'm an experienced CAD user, I can troubleshoot models, but I need a model to do it - a python script might as well be Mandarin to me. I don't speak Mandarin. And running the aforementioned script produces zero visible result in the 3D view.

Attached is a project file with the half torus. Now go to Part, select the fillet tool and select all edges. Use a radius of 0.2.

 The problem seems to be with the inner circular edge of the half torus. Without it, all other edges fillet successfully.

A workaround is to cut the torus slightly bigger or smaller than half. If the minor radius of the torus is 4mm, cut 0.001 from the midplane, either side works - all fillets succeed.

I would surmise that this is an OCC issue...
