Mode: Edit Mode
Menu: Mesh->Scripts->Bevel Center
This script smooths, or "rounds off" selected edges of a mesh. It adds additional edges/vertices in order to create an angled surface. As with all scripts, when you invoke the menu command, one of the windows changes to a Scripts window and the script presents it's user interface.
Options
- Min/Thickness/Max
- The row of controls beneath the big Bevel button control how much of a bevel to apply. The degree of bevel applied by the Thickness slider is bounded by the min and max numeric controls on either side of it. Changing this slider has a retractive effect on the last bevel applied, so if you want to bevel again, tab out of edit mode first, and then tab back in again.
- Recursive
- When you click this button, the edge is beveled, the thickness reduced, and then beveled again, and repeated the number of times set with the numeric slider. If a small thickness is used, this has the effect of clicking the Bevel button a number of times, and makes the surface rounded.
- Undo
- ctrl-Z is your friend, if you don't like the bevel results.
- Exit
- Ends the script.
Example
Here is the bevel center recursively applied to one edge of the default cube with a thickness of .5 and a recursion level of 4. Looks just like a quarter roundoff router bit had some woodworking fun.
