You can choose the type of edge you wish to chamfer:
- using the Select All button, you can select all
convex edges on the part
- any edge you select manually.
|
-
Leave the Convex Edge(s) option selected.
-
Select a sharp edge on a part.
If you want to create a longitudinal chamfer, you can
select a single long edge. This allows you to create a welding
chamfer, for example.
The chamfer is previewed on the edge. |

Remember that when you create a chamfer on one edge it is
automatically propagated on the tangent edge. |
|

As soon as you selected one edge, the dialog box is updated and
the Select All button changes to Cancel Selection. |
-
Choose a chamfer mode. You can either enter:
- two lengths: these lengths are computed from the selected edge
on both sides.
Here, we chose two lengths of 10mm.
|
|

|
- a length value and an angle: the length is computed on one side
of the edge and the angle from the chamfer's limit on the same
side.
Here, we chose a length of 10mm and an angle of 60deg.

You can use the Reverse button to inverse all edges'
side, on which the values are taken into account. |
|
|
Once you chose the chamfer mode, you can specify
whether the propagation should be: |

Click Cancel Selection then click the
Select All button.
All sharp edges of the part are selected, the Select All
button taking into account the chosen type and the chamfers
previewed. |

To deselect an edge, simply click it again. For quick selection
in a complex part, you can select all edges with the Select All
button, then deselect one or two edges. |

- When you select an edge that is not sharp, such as the edge
between a wall and a bend for example, a warning is issued.
- As you select more edges, the Edge(s) field of the
dialog box is updated.
- When using the Select All button, you select all
edges present at the time. If when modifying the part, new edges
are created, these will not be automatically chamfered.
- When the sharp edge is selected in the thickness of the wall,
its length has to be equivalent to the wall's thickness.
- If the sharp edge is not selected in the thickness of the wall,
it has to limit the faces of the wall.
