ChamferCyl Extended Primitive 193
2.
Drag the mouse to define the radius of the base
of the chamfered cylinder.
3. Releasethemousebutton,andthenmovethe
mouse vertically to define the height of the
cylinder. Cl ick to set the height.
4. Move the mouse diagonally to define the width
of the fillet, or chamfer (toward the upper left
increases the width; toward the lower right
decreases it).
5. Click to finish the cylinder.
Inter face
Creation Method rollout
Edge—Draws the object from edge to edge. You
can change the center location by moving the
mouse.
Center—Draws the object from the center out.
Parameters rollout
Radius—Sets the radius of the chamfered cylinder.
Height—Sets the dimension along t he central axis.
Negative values create the chamfered cylinder
below the construction plane.
Fillet—Chamfers the top and bottom cap edges of
the chamfered cylinder. Higher numbers result in
a more refined fillet along the cap edge.
Height Segs —Sets the number of divisions along
the corresponding axis.
Fillet S egs—Sets the number of segments in
the filleted edges of the c ylinder. Adding fil let
segments curves the edges, producing a filleted
cylinder.
Sides—Sets the number of sides around the
chamfered cylinder. Higher numbers shade and
render as true circles with Smooth on. Lower
numbers create regular polygonal objects with
Smooth off.
Cap Segs—Sets the number of concentric divisions
along the cen ter of the chamfered cylinder’s top
and b ottom
Smooth—Blends the faces of the chamfered
cylinder, creating a smooth appearance in
rendered views.
Slice On—Enables the Slice function. Default=off.
WhenyoucreateasliceandthenturnoffSliceOn,
the complete chamfered c ylinder reappears. You
can use this check b ox to switch b etween the two
topologies.
Slice From, Slice To—S ets the number of deg rees
around the local Z axis from a ze ro point at the
local X axis.
For both sett ings, positive values move the end of
the slice counterclockwise; negative values move it
clockwise. Either setting c an be made first. When
the ends meet, the whole chamfered cylinder
reappears.
