Bevel

Functionality

This node applies Bevel operator to the input mesh. You can specify edges to be beveled.

Inputs

This node has the following inputs:

• Vertices

• Edges

• Polygons

• FaceData. List containing an arbitrary data item for each face of input mesh. For example, this may be used to provide material indexes of input mesh faces. Optional input.

• BevelFaceData. Face data to be assigned to bevel faces. This input is expected to contain one item per input objects. If this input is not connected, then bevel faces will be assigned with face data from adjacent faces.

• BevelEdges / VerticesMask. Edges or vertices to be beveled. If this input is not connected, then by default all will be beveled. This parameter changes when Vertex mode flag is modified. On vertex mode it will expect a list of True/False (or 0/1) values indicating the selected vertices ([[0,1,0,..]]). Otherwise it will expect a list of Edges ([[2,6],[3,4]…]).

• Amount. Amount to offset beveled edge.

• Segments. Number of segments in bevel.

• Profile. Profile shape.

• Spread. Controls how far the new vertices are from the meeting point. This input is visible only when one of Miter Type parameters is set to value different from Sharp. The default value is 0.0.

Parameters

This node has the following parameters:

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
Amount type	Offset or Width or Depth or Percent	Offset	Offset - Amount is offset of new edges from original. Width - Amount is width of new face. Depth - Amount is perpendicular distance from original edge to bevel face. Percent - Amount is percent of adjacent edge length.
Vertex mode	Boolean	False	Bevel edges or only vertex. When activated the mask will switch from ‘Bevel Edges’ to ‘MaskVertices’
Clamp Overlap	Boolean	False	If checked, do not allow beveled edges/vertices to overlap each other
Amount	Float	0.0	Amount to offset beveled edge. Exact interpretation of this parameter depends on Amount type parameter. Default value of zero means do not bevel. This parameter can also be specified via corresponding input.
Segments	Int	1	Number of segments in bevel. This parameter can also be specified via corresponding input.
Profile	Float	0.5	Profile shape - a float number from 0 to 1; default value of 0.5 means round shape. This parameter can also be specified via corresponding input.
Spread	Float	0.0	See corresponding input description above.
Loop Slide	Boolean	True	If checked, prefer to slide along edges to having even widths. This parameter is available in the N panel only.
Miter type / Inner	Sharp or Patch or Arc	Sharp	Inner miter type. See Blender documentation for the details. This parameter is available in the N panel only.
Miter type / Outer	Sharp or Patch or Arc	Sharp	Outer miter type. See Blender documentation for the details. This parameter is available in the N panel only.

Outputs

This node has the following outputs:
