Hi all,
My maths is not so hot.
I have a routine that produced a rounded cube of length x width x height, with radius as the rounded edges,

What I really want is to produce a rounded triange of sqrt(length*length+width*width) as the two sides with a height of X

Any ideas?

draw a cylinder of the desired radius and height at each vertex location, and put a hull around the entire thing. You might need to use a little trig/geometry to move the cylinders towards the interior of the triangle by the radius if you want the cylinders to be totally within the triangle; otherwise each cylinder, and thus the hull, will overhang the triangle by the amount of the radius.

@jbernardis , Thank you, that is just what I wanted, it's so easy when you know how!!!

If you want the corners of the prism rounded as well, put a sphere at each vertex location instead of a cylinder.
If you want it hollow (a framework) put the spheres/cylinders in pairs with separate hull functions for each pair.
