Deform Bevel

Almost every object that you encounter in the real world is beveled. Because it is difficult and expensive to manufacture a perfectly sharp edge, most objects are created with chamfered, filleted, or eased edges. Use Bevel deformation to simulate these effects.

Properties of Bevel deformation curves are:

• One red curve for bevel amount.
• Bevel values are specified in current units.
• Default curve value is 0 units.
• Positive values reduce the shape bringing it closer to the path.
• Negative values add to the shape moving it away from the path.

When shapes are nested, the bevel direction is reversed for interior shapes.

How To

To use Bevel deformation:

1. Select a loft object.
2. Click Bevel in the Deformations rollout.
3. Adjust the deformation curve.
