Hello!
Is there a way in FreeCAD to round off the corners of shapes specifically like this? Without rounding the edges themselves (i.e., the rounded corner tapering off to "zero" at the edges).
Thank you

Your own 3D parametric modeler.
FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size. Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history and changing its parameters.

Another idea I just had:
Create a plan that goes through the 3 corners that the 3 edges of the corner you want to change, connect to. Create a offset plane from that plane, until it reaches the depth you want to cut off the corner. Then cut it off and use a fillet to make the corner smooth
Good, but see this topic and this post, maybe someone will fix this macros someday. Unfortunately too many things fall on my head :( https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?p=879759#p879759 + https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?p=880265#p880265
