Weight HyperNURBS
You can weight HyperNURBS objects using this tool. For information on how to use the tool, look up
‘HyperNURBS object’ in the index.
Bevel
Negative values can be used to bevel inward.
This tool enables you to bevel the selected points, edges or polygons. If no elements all selected, then
all points, edges or polygons (depending on the mode) will be considered.
To apply the bevel (Inner Offset and Extrusion), drag the mouse left or right. To adjust the Extrusion
value while in polygon mode, Shift-drag instead. To adjust the Inner Offset value only, Ctrl-drag.
Attribute manager settings
Maximum Angle
If Preserve Groups is enabled, all polygons not exceeding this angle relative to each other will hold
together. Polygons that exceed this angle to each other are broken apart when beveled.
Extrusion
The value entered for Extrusion plays an important role when interactively beveling with the mouse. In
this case, there are no absolute values, so they then indicate values relative to each other. For example,
if you set Extrusion to 1 and Inner Offset to 5, each element is moved exactly ve units inward for
each unit of outward movement, and vice versa.
Denes the height of the bevel (the distance of the beveled surfaces from the original surface).
