      I've found a bug: i tried just beveling a face (should have read the instructions...) and it gives me a dialog saying 'wrong arguement type false (expected array)', the problem is it is impossible to get this dialog to go away, you have to shut SU down form the task manager before you can use SU again.

      Thats too bad. Do you have any idea how to reproduce it? When I try it with a single face it doesn't do that.

        heres a quick mock up of the thing that made it crash. I was trying to bevel the top surface, but without hidden geometry turned on.

          Hi Chris

          Thanks for this very usefull tool. I one question though, would it be possible to use it in Decimal/millimeters ? It seems to use inches, even if my drawing is set to use millimeters 😞

          Thanks

            I just returned from a few days off at sea. Coming home is a delight 😄, finding this new plugin.

            Thank you very much Chris. I'll be trying the script when working on a model for work tomorrow.
            Kudos for these nice contributions to the SU community. Appreciated!

                I find a way to reproduce this bug:

                • Select something, right click and choose "Bevel".
                • In the bevel selection dialog choose cancel.
                • Then select the same or other geometry, right click and choose "Bevel" again.

                  Ah, I see the problem. I will post a fixed version tomorrow.

                  Thanks Daniel!

                        majid, are you doing the following:

                        1)create shape (cone, box, cylinder etc,)
                        2)select the entire shape
                        3)right click and select bevel

                          Dear Majid,

                          Remember, the input is in inches. Try using a fraction like 0.01 inches.

                          Regards,
                          Bob

                            Remus is right, you need to select the whole mesh.

                            There are really several different types of beveling. Mesh, face and edge. This plug-in just does mesh at the moment.

                                Looks like you are not selecting the whole mesh and/or using too large values for the amount of inset.

                                I have beveled cylinders and it works ok if you keep the values small.

                                    Very useful and longtime missing tool.
                                    Can't wait to put it to work.

                                      The ruby works very well. 😄
                                      I love it that one can use it by simply right clicking the selected geometry.
                                      Very speedy.

                                      One little remark:
                                      The ruby seems to only bevel concave corners and not the convex ones.
                                      see image:

                                      Besides the small hickups, this is a very fine ruby.
                                      Thank you Chris. 👍

                                      @Majid,
                                      I believe the issue you experience indeed has to do with the bevel value set too high.
