, [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])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
bevel is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The bevel command creates a new bevel surface for the specified curve.
The curve can be any nurbs curves.

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.
