(Chamfer) or choose Chamfer Settings from the drop-down list.
Chamfering creates new faces around the chamfered entity, along with connecting edges. Or, with the Open option, you can create
an open (empty) area instead. For vertices, edges, and borders, you can use the caddy to set the chamfer amount numerically
and to toggle the Open option. The Segments setting applies only to edges and borders.

- Chamfer Amount
-
The extent of the chamfer. Default=1.0.
- Segments
-
(edges/borders only) Adds edges and polygons over the area of the chamfer, and, with single chamfered edges, rounds off the
chamfer. By default, the chamfer uses a single segment, which covers the chamfered area with a new polygon positioned diagonally
with respect to the original corner. The higher the Segments value you use, the more the chamfer is rounded off.
If you chamfer two or more adjacent, open edges at a time, the rounding off takes place only at open ends of the edges. No
rounding takes place where the edges meet.
- Open
-
When on, the chamfered area is deleted, leaving open space. Default=off.
