Hi, I want to round a single corner of a square, but I can't obtain what I want.
Inside the square there is a circle and I'd like to have the corner with the same roundness of the circle.
What I did till now is:
- converting the square to a path
- creating two new nodes in the middle of each side of the corner
- move handles of the corner to round it
This doesn't work very well, so I tried to duplicate the circle and cut the corner dividing paths. Maybe this is a better solution but I can't exactly align the cutting circle with the first one (I have to align them diagonally).
Is there an easier way to do this? Or a tutorial or something about rounding single corners?
Thank you, Carlo
One way of doing it is to add radii to all 4 corners of your object. Duplicate it, change the color, and remove the radii by clicking on the sharp corner option. Convert the sharp corner object to path. Add a couple nodes near the corner and delete the original corner node to create a chamfer. Now union both objects.

PS. There are other ways to do this of course. ;)
