Thanks for your reply Mojave,

It's good to know that there's a chance that this feature will come before the next official release.

I'll keep a lookout for new releases. Please would you mind keeping us updated on the development of this as it is so vital to product visualisation work as I'm sure you've heard.

I can provide use case scenarios if you guys want to test on some real production CAD data.

Feel free to PM me and I can send you an NDA if you're interested in user feedback in regards to CAD data and render time rounded edges.

Hi everyone,

We have made a new test release that includes some improvements in how rounded edges are calculated so feel free to give it a try:

Note that this is not the final version that will be included in v3.1 but it should be a significant improvement in many cases.

I have only had time to test it with some simple geometry, but there it worked great! Thank you! Will do some in depth tests when I find the time!

Wow this is a huge achievement. I'll give this a test when I'm back in the office.

Thanks very much for the update. I'll keep and eye on the linked thread for updates.

Hi

Has there been any update on this? I've just started using 4 and still can't get rounded corners to work on CAD data.
It really flattens the render when we don't have it and lets a lot of Octanes awesomeness be ruined by the smallest thing that people instantly comment on lol :(

we’re trying to squeeze it in 2018.1, but most likely coming in 2019.1.
