Long name (short name)[argument types]Properties
-offset (-o) linearquerycreateedit
This flag specifies the offset distance for the bevelling.
C: Default is 0.2.
Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
-offsetAsFraction (-oaf) booleanquerycreateedit
This flag specifies whether the offset is a fraction or an absolute value. If a fraction, the offset can range between 0 and 1, where 1 is the maximum possible offset
C: Default is false.
Q: When queried, this flag returns an int.
-angleTolerance (-at) doublequerycreateedit
This flag specifies the angle beyond which additional faces may be inserted to avoid possible twisting of faces. If the bevel produces unwanted faces, try increasing the angle tolerance.
C: Default is 5 degrees.
Q: When queried, this flag returns a double.
-roundness (-r) floatquerycreateedit
This flag specifies the roundness of bevel. A roundness of 0 means that all new faces are coplanar. This value is only used if the autoFit value is off.
C: Default is 0.5.
Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
-segments (-sg) intquerycreateedit
This flag specifies the number of segments used for the bevelling.
C: Default is 1.
Q: When queried, this flag returns an int.
-autoFit (-af) booleanquerycreateedit
Computes a smooth roundness, new faces round off a smooth angle.
C: Default is on.
Q: When queried, this flag returns an int.
-worldSpace (-ws) booleanquerycreateedit
This flags specifies the used reference. If on : the offset flag is taken in world reference. If off : the offset flag is taken in object reference (the default).
C: Default is off.
Q: When queried, this flag returns an int.
Common flags
-name (-n) stringcreate
Name the resulting object.
-constructionHistory (-ch) booleanquerycreate
Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable).
Q: When queried, this flag returns an int

Examples


 // Replace an edge by 1 face, the width of the new face is given by the offset value.
 polyCube -n plg;
 polyBevel -offset 0.2 plg.e[7];
 delete plg;
	
 // Replace an edge by 4 faces, the new faces are rounding a smooth angle.
 polyCube -n plg;
 polyBevel -segments 4 -offset 0.4 plg.e[7];
 delete plg;

 // Replace an edge by 4 faces, the new faces are rounding an angle specified by the default value of roundness (i.e 0.5).
 polyCube -n plg;
 polyBevel -segments 4 -autoFit off plg.e[7];
 delete plg;
