Try unchecking the tangent propagation box in the fillet property manager.

Maybe uncheck Tangent propagation?

I know from your other post that you are a newbie. Are you coming from
AutoCAD? I don't know if you have done so or not, but you need to run
through the online tutorials and get some basic fundamentals down. Even
though the things the have you make are simple, they provide you with some
needed knowledge and will give you an insight into how to apply it towards
your work. A few hours in the tutorial will save you weeks of fumbling
around and getting pissed at the software.
Also, always check your "Help" first....Simply looking under the topic of
radius would have given you the answer you were looking for. I'm seriously
not trying to bust your knockers, but just trying to save you some time,
help you out and not let you get frustrated using SWx......A Hammer is a
great tool for putting a nail in, but if you keep whacking at the nail using
the handle, the nail ain't going in...

Seriously, voodoo, people are much more likely to help if they can see
you've tried to help yourself first. |

In case you were looking for more than a quick answer.
The default fillet option for a fillet is to project the feature around any
adjacent tangent edge/face. Unchecking the option for tangent propagation
will allow the fillet to attempt to only fillet the explicit edge/edges
selected. This works well on outside corners where a straight run off can
occur. (picture using a radius cutter and running it straight of the end of
your desk) On an inside radius corner however there isn't usually a natural
projection to run off when not tangent through the inside corner. (picture
running the radius cutter into the inside of an L shapes counter, it will
over cut in order to completely cut the first edge)
Please do check out the tutorials inside SolidWorks as well as some online
resources. I would suggeest CADPO Igetit training as they were offering a
free upgrade training for 2006.

I am trying to make my project as I learn . So I may ask a few questions.
Unfortunatley I have little time to try all the tutorials. So I may ask a
few obvious questions.
