What is NURBS/Poly Fillet Tool?

NURBS/Poly Fillet Tool adds a small context menu in edit mode for curves in Blender. To use it, select a control point at the corner of a path, right-click, and choose 'Filet Helper > Fillet Curve Points' at the bottom of the menu to add a fillet. The add-on covers both fillet and unfillet operations for paths.

The fillet operation is destructive, but it can be reversed. Select the points the fillet created, right-click, and choose 'Filet Helper > Merge Points at Segment Intersection' to turn them back into a single point and start over. Both actions live in the same context menu.

It's compatible with Blender 4.2.5 LTS and newer, weighs 17.0 KB, requires no special permissions, and is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
