ChamferSrf

Places a ruled surface as a bevel between two surface edges.

Steps:

  1. Select

    the first surface.

  2. Click the surface at the side you want to keep after chamfering. Component surfaces will be selected and unjoined from their polysurfaces.

    The first chamfer distance is the distance from the location where the two surfaces would intersect to the chamfer point on the first surface. The second chamfer distance is the distance from the location where the two surfaces would intersect if extended to the chamfer point on the second surface.

  3. Select the second surface.

  4. Click the surface at the side you want to keep after chamfering.

Options

Distances

The distance from the intersection of the surfaces to the edge of the chamfer.

Extend

Extends the chamfer surface as far as it can along surface.

Trim

Yes

Trims the original surfaces back to their intersections with the chamfer surface.

No

Do not trim.

Split

Split the original surfaces at the chamfer edges.

VariableChamferSrf

Creates a chamfer surface between surface edges with varying distance values, trims the original surfaces faces, and joins the resulting surfaces.

Steps:

  1. Select

    the surfaces.

  2. Type the chamfer distance.

  3. Pick

    a distance location.

Options

ChamferDistance

Specifies the distance for the current handle.

AddHandle

Adds a handle along the edges.

CopyHandle

Adds a new handle using the distance from the selected handle.

SetAll

Set the distance for all handles.

LinkHandles

If Yes, editing a single handle will update all handles.

RemoveHandle

Visible only when at least one handle has been added.

Notes:

  • Only added handles can be removed.

  • The default handles at the ends of each open edge segment cannot be moved or deleted. This is the minimum information the command needs in order to work.

  • The handle at the end of a single closed edge can be moved but not deleted.

RailType

Selects between three rail type options.

DistBetweenRails

DistFromEdge

RollingBall

TrimAndJoin

If Yes, the surfaces are trimmed and joined to the blend.

ChamferEdge

Creates a ruled surface between multiple polysurface edges with varying chamfer distances, trims the original faces, and joins the chamfer surfaces to them.

Steps:

    edges.

  2. Select a handle.

Options

CurrentChamferDistance

Specifies the distance for the current handle.
