Radius denes the radius of the chamfer. If Flat is enabled, the chamfering is linear.
Create Outline
For best results, use a Linear or Bezier spline.
Before. After.
This tool also works interactively. Select the tool and drag left or right within the viewport to create
an outline around the original spline. The entire spline is outlined. For best results, the spline’s points
should be planar. If the original spline is closed then the outline is created as a new segment with a
reversed point order compared to the original. If the spline is open, by default the new spline will be
connected to it, thus creating a closed spline.
Attribute manager settings
Create New Object
If this option is enabled, the original spline is not changed. The outline is created as a new spline
object. The original spline remains selected.
Distance
Denes the distance of the outline from the original spline. Since only the vertices are duplicated, the
outline cannot always be kept parallel, particularly if the points are non-planar.
