              Agreed follow me can be used but....
              there has to be a simpler way. If anybody has used or played with MOI 3d ( http://moi3d.com/ )you'll know what i'm talking about.

              • Pick a line or number of lines
              • fillet/chamfer tool
              • specify distances and boom
                you've got something wonderful

              Wish it was this easy in SU

                I think what Andrew wants is like that:

                http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/sas/Newbie/chamfer.jpg

                Of course, he (and I) want to know how to make the cut accurately by specifying a distance. Also for fillet (by giving a radius).

                Many thanks.

                  I very much agree with you Ypnos.
                  It should work like that and it would be a great tool to have, certainly towards photoreal rendering.
                  SU7?

                  By the way, happy birthday 😄

                        thanks jenujacob...but it doesn't really work as described above.
                        It only let's you draw boxes.
                        I would like to be able to click-select edges of modeled objects so those can get chamfered.

                          I cant even get it to work, when i download it its just the .rbs file right? Where do i put that... I thought the plugins were .rb not rbs?

                            .rbs seems to be a compiled version of the plugin. This is how they keep the inner workings of the programs secure (read as $$$ making). I, for one, would like to see how they did it but i don't think it was that hard.
