Chamfering Corners of Lines and Polygons

Chamfer the corners of lines and polygons.

\chamf

A chamfer is an oblique line formed between two existing lines at an angle to each other. You can create a chamfer between two lines, two polygon lines or chamfer all the corners of a polygon. The chamfer line assumes the attributes of the polygon or the first indicated line. The lines or polygon may be on any plane.

There are two options:

Chamfer two lines or two edges of a polygon

Chamfer all the edges of a polygons

Chamfer Two Lines or Two Edges of a Polygon

Select one of the following options:

by length and angle

Specify the length of the chamfer and its angle from the first line.

by two lengths

Specify the two distances of the start of the chamfer from the intersection of the two lines.

by two points

Specify a point on each line between which the chamfer is to be created.

by chamfer length

Specify the length of the chamfer. The angle between the lines and the chamfer will be equal.

join (chamfer 0)

Lines are joined at a corner with no chamfer. (This option is not applicable to polygons.)

Indicate the two lines or two polygon edges, (in case of two points, snap the points to the lines in 3D view); confirm the result.

Chamfer all Edges of a Polygon

Enter the chamfer lengths and indicate the polygon. (The only option is BY 2 LENGTHS).
