How to create the sketch shown including the fillet (red line). I couldnt find a polyline function as was previously the case for version prior to 3.1.

https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/2.79/modeling/curves/editing/introduction.html#set-spline-type

I would like to have this as a cross section so that I can extrude etc Thanks!

In Object Mode add a plane with menu Add or Shift+A > Mesh > Plane

enter image description here

Then go to Modifier Properties and add a Subdivision Surface modifier or do the shortcut by pressing Ctrl+3 to add a Subdivision Surface modifier with three (3) levels. Then click the small down arrow > Apply.

enter image description here

Then press tab to go into Edit Mode and press 3 to switch to Face Select mode. Then select the faces as shown below and press X > Faces to delete the selected faces.

enter image description here

Press 1 to switch to Vertex Select mode and select the vertices encircled in red as shown below then press X > Vertices to delete those vertices. Then press tab again to go back into Object Mode to inspect the shape.

enter image description here

Press tab to go into Edit Mode again and select two (2) vertices encircled in red as shown below then press Shift+S > Cursor to Selected. This will put the 3D Cursor right between those vertices. Then add a circle with menu Add or Shift+A > Mesh > Circle. Set the circle's radius to 0.25m

enter image description here

Then select the vertices EXACTLY as shown below and press X > Vertices to delete these vertices. Press A to select ALL vertices and press M > Merge By Distance. Notice that 2 vertices have been merged. Those are the 2 vertices from the circle and 2 vertices from the other shape. Now they are fused together. Press F to fill in a face if you want. Then press tab to go back into Object Mode.

  • $\begingroup$ I think the asker wants to do this from a curve object, it works for converting meshes to curves, but there are too many steps. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ This is a perfect approach for the cross sections I want to make!!! Thanks a lot for the short cuts too! $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 15, 2022 at 23:40
  • $\begingroup$ @user9106985 awesome! glad it works out for you, steps are a bit long, maybe could have been shorter but this is a good practice session :) $\endgroup$
