Synopsis

bevel [-bevelShapeType int] [-caching boolean] [-constructionHistory boolean] [-cornerType int] [-depth linear] [-extrudeDepth linear] [-name string] [-nodeState int] [-object boolean] [-polygon int] [-range boolean] [-tolerance linear] [-width linear] [object]

bevel is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Return value

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags

Long name (short name)	Argument types	Properties
-bevelShapeType(-bst)	int
Shape type: 1 - straight cut, 2 - curve out, 3 - curve in Default: 1
-cornerType(-ct)	int
Corner type: 1 - linear, 2 - circular Default: 2
-depth(-d)	linear
The depth for bevel Default: 0.5
-extrudeDepth(-ed)	linear
The extrude depth for bevel Default: 1.0
-tolerance(-tol)	linear
The tolerance for bevel offsets Default: 0.01
-width(-w)	linear
The width for bevel Default: 0.5
Common flags
-constructionHistory(-ch)	boolean
Turn the construction history on or off.
-name(-n)	string
Sets the name of the newly-created node. If it contains namespace path, the new node will be created under the specified namespace; if the namespace does not exist, it will be created.
-object(-o)	boolean
Create the result, or just the dependency node.
-polygon(-po)	int
The value of this argument controls the type of the object created by this operation 0: nurbs surface 1: polygon (use nurbsToPolygonsPref to set the parameters for the conversion) 2: subdivision surface (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion) 3: Bezier surface 4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)
-range(-rn)	boolean
Force a curve range on complete input curve.
Advanced flags
-caching(-cch)	boolean
Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information. Note: For advanced users only.
-nodeState(-nds)	int
Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information. Note: For advanced users only.

Flag can appear in Create mode of command	Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command	Flag can be used more than once in a command.

MEL examples

// Bevel (one) active curve with a width and depth of 1.5:
bevel -w 1.5 -d 1.5;

// Create a single-sided bevel (at start) surface using the specified
// curve (with the default dimensions):
bevel -ns 2 curve1;
