Computes the edges beveling for polygonal objects, using the bevel offset (offset), the number of segments (segments), the smooth roundness (autoFit) : new facets round off a smooth angle, when it (autoFit) is unset then the roundness (roundness) is used : a roundness of 0 means that all new facets are coplanar.

Long name (short name)TypeDefaultFlags
angleTolerance (at) double20.0outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Angular tolerance for creation of extra triangles Note this attribute is for compatability only and should not be modified in Maya 7.0 files
autoFit (af) booltrueoutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
If autoFit is on, it computes a smooth roundness : new facets round off a smooth angle.
fillNgons (fn) boolfalseoutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Subdivide new faces with more than 4 edges
fraction (f) double0.5outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
The fraction for bevel.
mergeVertexTolerance (mvt) distance (double)0.0cmoutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Tolerance within which to merge vertices

Miter faces that have angles less than this value
offset (o) distance (double)0.2cmoutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
The offset for bevel.
offsetAsFraction (oaf) boolfalseoutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
If on, the offset value is treated as a fraction between zero and one.
roundness (r) double0.5outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
The roundness of bevel, it is taken into account when autoFit is off.
segments (sg) integer1outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
The number of segments used for beveling.
smoothingAngle (sa) double0.0outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Create new edges as hard edges if the angle between adjacent faces exceeds this value
uvAssignment (ua) enum0outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Technique used to compute UVs on new faces 0 computes new UVs by projecting along surface normal of original mesh onto new mesh 1 computes new UVs by projecting along surface normal of new mesh onto original mesh
