Remove Rounds and Fillets
Use the Defeature: Fillets tool to find and remove both round (convex) and fillet (concave) surfaces.
The Defeature: Fillets tool allows you to select a round or fillet, and find all that are larger, smaller, or similar (±5%) in size. In general, it is best to remove small fillets first, then larger fillets, then rounds. When you get to a point where you cannot remove any more, it is time to use other modeling tools and strategies to complete the geometry simplification.
