Long name (short name)	Type	Default	Flags
bevelInside (bin)	bool	false
If true, ensure surface always remains within the original profile curve
endCapSurface (ecs)	nurbsSurface	NULL
End cap surface. This will always be a trimmed NURBS surface.
capSides (cap)	integer	1
Number of sides to cap: 1 - none, 2 - At start, 3 - At end, 4 - At start and end
startCapSurface (scs)	nurbsSurface	NULL
Start cap surface. This will always be a trimmed NURBS surface.
count (c)	integer	0
The number of curves for each created text character. There is an entry for each character in the string, and the value should be the number of curves in that character. NOTE: This attribute is intended for use only by the makeTextCurves node
depth (d)	distance (double)	0.1cm
The depth for the bevel.
extrudeDepth (ed)	distance (double)	0.25cm
The extrude distance (depth) for bevel.
innerStyleCurve (isc)	nurbsCurve	NULL
The bevel inner style curve, used for all but the first (outer) curve.
inputCurves (ics)	nurbsCurve	NULL
The input curves. The first one is the outer curve and should contain all the other curves within it.
joinSurfaces (js)	bool	true
If true, join all the bevel surfaces into one, if false leave separate Only applies to NURBS surfaces. Does not join the caps to the sides.
normalsOutwards (no)	bool	false
If true, surface normals point outwards Default is false for compatability with pre-7.0 files that had inward-facing normals
orderedCurves (oc)	bool	false
If true, the orientation of the curves defines their nesting, and the first curve on each letter is the outer curve. If false the ordering of curves in a letter is undetermined. In the latter case the node will try to determine the nesting of the curves itself.
outputPoly (op)	mesh	NULL
Output as a single polygon of all the bevel surfaces and caps.
outputSurfaces (os1)	nurbsSurface	NULL
Output NURBS surfaces - the bevel surfaces (one per each input curve).
outerStyleCurve (osc)	nurbsCurve	NULL
The bevel outer style curve, used for the first (outer) curve.
polyOutChordHeight (cht)	distance (double)	0.1cm
Chord height is the absolute distance in object space which the center of a polygon edge can deviate from the actual center of the surface span. Only used if Method is Sampling and if polyOutseChordHeight is true.
polyOutChordHeightRatio (chr)	double	0.1
Chord height ratio is the ratio of the chord length of a surface span to the chord height. (This is a length to height ratio). 0 is a very loose fit. 1 is a very tight fit. This applies to the polygonal output type only. (See also description of chord height.) Used if Method is Sampling and polyOutUseChordHeightRatio is true.
polyOutCount (poc)	integer	200
The number of polygons to produce when the polygon is requested. Only used if method is face count.
polyOutCurveSamples (pcs)	integer	6
Initial number of samples in the curve direction. Only used if Method is Sampling.
polyOutCurveType (pct)	enum	1
Initial V type tessellation criteria along the curve. Type 2 - Complete Curve. This type places a specific number of sample points along the curve, equally spaced in parameter space. Type 3 - Curve Span. This type places a specific number of sample points across each curve span, equally spaced in parameter space. Only used if Method is Sampling.
polyOutExtrusionSamples (pes)	integer	2
Initial number of samples along the extrusion. Only used if Method is Sampling.
polyOutExtrusionType (pet)	enum	1
Initial type tessellation criteria along the extrude direction. Type 2 - Complete Extrusion. This type places a specific number of lines across the surface, equally spaced in parameter space. Type 3 - Extrusion Section. This type places a specific number of lines across each surface span, equally spaced in parameter space. This attribute is only used if Method is Sampling.
polyOutMethod (pom)	enum	0
Method for the polygonal output: 0 - Face Count, 2 - Sampling
polyOutUseChordHeight (uch)	bool	false
True means use chord height. This is a secondary criteria that refines the tessellation produced using the sampling value. Only used if Method is Sampling.
polyOutUseChordHeightRatio (ucr)	bool	true
True means use chord height ratio. This is a secondary criteria that refines the tessellation produced using the sampling value. Only used if Method is Sampling.
position (p)	double3
Offsets for each character of the created text string. The value is specified in the current distance units. NOTE: This attribute is intended for use only by the makeTextCurves node
positionX (px) distance (double) 0.0cm Offsets for each character in X.
positionY (py) distance (double) 0.0cm Offsets for each character in Y.
positionZ (pz) distance (double) 0.0cm Offsets for each character in Z.
numberOfSides (ns)	integer	4
Number of sides to bevel: 1 - no bevel just extrude, 2 - bevel start and extrude, 3 - bevel end and extrude, 4 - bevel start and end and extrude
tolerance (tol)	distance (double)	0.01cm
The tolerance for creating NURBS caps.
width (w)	distance (double)	0.1cm
The width for the bevel.
