Chamfer Edges (Legacy)



(3D only) Used to chamfer one or more edges of a solid, projected surface, or a surface of revolution. To use this tool:

  • Select the edge you want to chamfer.

  • To select additional edges, press <Ctrl> and, as you move the pointer over the solid or surface, the edge nearest the pointer highlights. While holding down <Ctrl>, enter a data point to select the additional edge.

  • You can enter a Reset to deselect an incorrect edge. Where a number of edges have been selected, consecutive Resets will deselect them in the reverse order (that is, the last edge selected is the first edge deselected).

SettingDescription
Distance 1/Distance 2

Sets the distances to trim back the faces. If the Lock control is on, they are constrained to the same value.

Lock control
  • If on (closed) Distance 1 and Distance 2 are the same value.

  • If off (open) Distance 1 and Distance 2 can be different.

Select Tangent Edges

If on, edges that are tangentially continuous are selected and chamfered in one operation. If off, only the selected section is chamfered.

Flip Direction

Where Distance 1 and Distance 2 are different, reverses the direction of the chamfer and the values that the faces are trimmed.
