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) booltrueoutputinputconnectablestorablekeyablehidden
If autoFit is on, it computes a smooth roundness : new facets round off a smooth angle.
chamfer (c) booltrueoutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
If chamfer is on, the surface is smoothed out at bevels. When it is off, the shape of the surface remains the same.
depth (d) double1.0outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
The depth of bevel. One means a smooth surface, -1 means maximum depth.
forceParallel (fp) boolfalseoutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Force edges to be parallel
fraction (f) double0.5outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
The fraction for bevel.
mergeVertexTolerance (mvt) distance (double)0.0cmoutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Tolerance within which to merge vertices
mergeVertices (mv) boolfalseoutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Merge vertices within a tolerance
miterAlong (mia) enum0outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Controls in which direction new vertices should we offseted.
mitering (m) enum0outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Controls how the topology should look like at corners.
miteringAngle (ma) double0.0outputinputconnectablestorablekeyablehidden
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) double0.5outputinputconnectablestorablekeyablehidden
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
subdivideNgons (sn) boolfalseoutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Subdivide new faces with more than 4 edges
