Beveling in point mode (face mesh, left) and with Subdivision set to 0 and 3 (pyramids).
As the face example above illustrates, the bevel tool is adept at removing poles (i.e. points that have
more than four edges) and attening out the tips of objects.
Extrude
This tool extrudes selected points, edges or polygons. If no elements are selected, all of the object’s
elements will be extruded.
To extrude interactively in the viewport, drag left or right within the viewport. The extrusion takes
place along the normals of the selected surfaces; the average value is evaluated from all the normals
to be extruded.
Attribute manager settings
