CST2013: Chamfer Curve

Modeling: CurvesCurve ToolsChamfer Curve

In this dialog box you can specify the width of the chamfer applied to a curve at a previously picked point. The corresponding menu or toolbar items will only be active if a curve or a curve item has been selected before. After activating the chamfer operation, an interactive mode will be entered where a point needs to be picked from the curve.

The chamfer operation will then modify the curve items connected to the selected point and create a new item which actually represents the chamfer. The chamfer item can be identified by an unique name, e.g. for subsequent editing operations.

As soon as the chamfer is defined it will appear in the main plot window and on the navigation tree.

The picture below shows a chamfer applied to a corner of a rectangle:
