      This plugin is not nearly finished yet. But it will be a little while before I am able to come back to it. So here is an early release, warts and all.

      Install
      -Put SketchyBevel.rb in your plugins directory.
      -Select the faces you want to bevel.
      -Right click and select Bevel.
      -A dialog will appear.
      -Amount is how far to inset the faces in decimal inches.
      -Cap holes will attempt to fill in the corners of the bevel with faces. Capping holes is still buggy so you may want to do it yourself.
      -Click "Ok" and it should bevel the geometry.

      Known bugs
      -Works by "shrinking faces" similar to the Outliner tool. If the face shrinks too much it will flip causing the geometry to be incorrect.
      -I haven't figured out how to cap the holes in the end of a bevel yet. It works ok for simple shapes but more complex ones are tricky. So there is an option to cap holes or not. If you cap holes you may wind up with some extra faces that are not needed. If not you will have to cap them yourself (not too hard).
      -Sometimes faces are backwards and grow rather than shrink. Delete the face and rebuild it by drawing a clockwise line.
      -It doesn't yet handle the case where some of the faces in a mesh are beveled and others not.

      May 11 update.
      -Fixed hang bug if input box canceled.
      -Beveling now works inside of groups and components.
      -Bevel amount should now be in the set unit format (meters, cm, feet, etc)
      -Somewhat better capping of holes. Still far from perfect. Sometimes it still leaves holes so there is a "Cap Holes" right click option.


      Current version. May 11 2008.
