bevel( [object] , [bevelShapeType=int], [caching=boolean], [constructionHistory=boolean],
[cornerType=int], [depth=linear], [extrudeDepth=linear], [name=string], [nodeState=int], [object=boolean], [polygon=int], [range=boolean], [tolerance=linear], [width=linear])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
bevel is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The bevel command creates a new bevel surface for the specified
curve. The curve can be any nurbs curves.

|
| Advanced flags |
caching(cch) |
boolean |
|
|
Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for
more information.
Note: For advanced users only. |
|
nodeState(nds) |
int |
|
|
Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more
information.

|
| Common flags |
name(n) |
string |
|
|
Name the resulting object |
|
constructionHistory(ch) |
boolean |
|
|
Turn the construction history on or off |
|
object(o) |
boolean |
|
|
Create the result, or just the dependency node |
|
polygon(po) |
int |
|
|
The value of this argument controls the type of the object
created by this operation
- 0: nurbs surface
- 1: polygon (use nurbsToPolygonsPref to set the parameters for
the conversion)
- 2: subdivision surface (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the
parameters for the conversion)
- 3: Bezier surface
- 4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the
parameters for the conversion)
|
|
range(rn) |
boolean |
|
|
Force a curve range on complete input curve |
