Chamfer Edit allows you to refine your chamfered and beveled faces after a Bevel or Chamfer operation has been applied. The tool increases the number of segments on chamfered faces and also changes the width of faces on chamfered edges.

Edge Chamfer allows you to round the edges of a mesh, similarly to Edge Bevel. You can customize the effect by fine-tuning the tool's properties, use Profile shapes to determine the shape of the chamfer, and modulate the effect using Falloffs.

Usually, coplanar edges are unnecessary edges in beveling. Edge Chamfer hides coplanar edges before chamfering and computes the inset vector from incoming and outgoing edges at the vertex on the face.

However, sometimes you need to inset vertex positions along coplanar edges. Offset along Coplanar Edge allows you to offset vertex positions along connecting coplanar edges.

At junctions between three or more edges, extra polygons are inserted to bridge any gaps created by the extrusion. Extra polygons are also inserted at the bare ends of edges to keep the shape closed and planar as the edge is chamfered.

The number of divisions for rounding the edge. This is similar to the Edge Bevel tool's Level property, but allows you to set an odd number of segments. The more segments you have, the smoother the chamfer.

The Chamfer Edit tool is available in both direct modeling and procedural modeling workflows. To understand the difference between these workflows, see Modeling Techniques.

When enabled, the boundary of selected edges can be extended outward. This option is available both for procedural and direct Edge Chamfer.

The Mitering Offset option creates extra co-planar polygons beside the outer chamfered edges. Increasing the value increases the distance between the outer chamfered edge and the edge of the added polygon.

When enabled, keeps chamfered corners as sharp as possible. For edges shared by three or more polygons, the polygons are grouped into pairs and new faces are created between each pair, ignoring polygons not part of a pair.

You can also assign profiles to chamfered edges using the Chamfer Edit tool, which apply a curve of your choice to an edge to create interesting forms for your edges.

The direct modeling Chamfer Edit tool can be found in the Polygon tab on the Model layout. To apply a chamfer edit to an existing chamfered or beveled edge using direct modeling tools:

When Absolute Size is not enabled, an offset value of zero represents how curved the edge was before Edit Chamfer was activated.

Adjusts the roundness of chamfered edges. 100% is the default value for round bevel. 0% makes round positions flat and -100% produces a negative radius.

You can use Falloffs to modulate the strength of the tool on different parts of the geometry. For more information on working with Falloffs, see Using Falloffs.

This adds the Edge Chamfer node to the viewport and opens its properties on the lower right panel. You can also see a blue tool handle appear in the 3D viewport, indicating that the tool is active.

You can expand the Edge Chamfer mesh operation in the list by clicking the arrow in front of it. This reveals the inputs the operation uses:

• Selection - Select edges or modify your existing selection. For more information on procedural selection, see Procedural Selection.

When enabled, you can choose an existing material to apply to all newly created geometry. When disabled, the tool uses the neighboring material.

This option is useful to smooth artifacts on connecting polygons, allowing for a better transition between a chamfered edge and its connecting polygon.

Source Segments allows you to edit the number of segments and offset of a chamfered edge. This tool is useful when making edits to larger models that already have rounded edges. In order for the tool to work, the Source Segments parameter must match the amount of segments selected.

Edge Chamfer hides all coplanar edges before modifying the edge, to remove unnecessary complexity. This is the threshold value to detect coplanar edges.

• Edges are offset from the source in parallel, producing better geometry. You can toggle this behavior with the Offset in Parallel option in the Edge Chamfer Properties.

Adjusts the roundness of chamfered edges. 100% is the default value for round bevel. 0% makes round positions flat and -100% produces a negative radius.

Procedural mesh operations can be found on the Model layout in the Mesh Ops tab. To apply a chamfer edit to an existing chamfered or bevel edge using procedural mesh operations:

Note:  If you're working in a layout where the Mesh Ops tab is not visible by default, click the + button on the right of the tab names, and select Data Lists > Mesh Ops.

Tip:  To use profiles with the procedural chamfer edit mesh operation, add a Content Preset to the Tool Pipe menu under the Chamfer Edit in the Mesh Ops tab.

Tip:  Selecting the edges in the viewport in advance adds the Select By Index selection operator containing your selection. You can edit the selection through the node by selecting it. This opens its properties in the lower right panel. For more information see Select by Index.

Enabling Absolute Size allows you to edit the offset of a chamfered edge assuming that a zero offset is a straight edge and any positive number above zero will be a curved edge.

Edge Chamfer offsets edges from source position in parallel. When Offset in Parallel is disabled, new vertices are placed along the edge at the specific offset distance from the source vertex, similar to the Edge Bevel tool.
