Parameters rollout



Bevel Profile

Click the button to choose a shape or NURBS curve to be used for the profile path. After that, the name of the path object appears above the button.

Generate Mapping Coords

Assigns UV coordinates.

Real-World Map Size

Controls the scaling method used for texture mapped materials that are applied to the object. The scaling values are controlled by the Use Real-World Scale settings found in the applied material's Coordinates rollout. Default=on.

Start

Caps the bottom of the extruded shape.

End

Caps the top of the extruded shape.

Cap Type

Choose the capping method:

• Morph Uses a deterministic method of capping that provides the same number of vertices for morphing between objects.
• Grid Creates gridded caps that are better for cap deformations.

Keep Lines From Crossing

Prevents beveled surfaces from self intersecting. Available after you specify the profile object.

This option requires more processor calculation and can be time-consuming in complex geometry.

Separation

The distance that sides should be kept apart to prevent intersections.
