Improve shell feature - The limitation of 4 sided round corner isn't a problem for SolidWorks

It would be great to improve shell feature.

 

PTC explains that there is a limitation with shell feature when exterior corners (round transition) are defined with more than 3 edges and thickness passes the corner from 4 edges to zero edge.

It is OK if the corner is defined by 3 edges. Creo can offset the exterior corner from 3 edges to zero.

 

I compared SolidWork 2019 and Creo7 shell features.

Have a look at the video and see that SolidWorks allows shell feature where Creo fails.

Best regards
