Hello
There is a command for auto-creating rounds - it detects concave and/or convex edges and then all are rounded in one go.
I frequently make laser cut sheet metal components. They often have various slots and features that need to be rounded. The Auto Round tool would be great here since there are often dozens of small edges (normal to the sheet plane) that need rounding.
But it is not very helpful then, at least for convex corners - because it insists on also rounding the outer edges of the sheet (parallel to the sheet plane). There is an option to exclude specified edges, but this removes a lot of the Auto and becomes almost as manual as selecting everything the hard way.
In extreme cases with many reoccurring slots and cutouts, I even sketch them with all rounds included, and then pattern - because that saves me from having to hunt and peck at scores of tiny edges later. A workaround, but cumbersome.
So I would be grateful if there was a possibility to specify something like "round only edges that are normal to plane/surface X" or something.
