Im sorry if i ask an ovious question but what does it mean to bevel?
A bevel would be similar to a chamfer This countertop has a bevel or a chamfer on the edge.
While we're at it, a fillet is a concave curve between two surfaces at angles to each other. This bicycle frame has fillets between the tubes.
Remus, in your drawing, the one on the right has a radiused corner, not a beveled corner. the one on the left appears to have a simple square corner.

Here are two video examples in the zip attached.
One for chamfer, other for bevel. Of course that bevel need to put a radius...Daniel S
In the video you will see a variable radius...

I had started work on a bevelling script. It was not nearly finished when my hard drive crashed and all was lost. It shouldn't be too hard to redo the work but I'm not committing to any new projects right now. My wife will kill me if I start another Ruby project before getting some work done in our basement.
Too bad! Of course, I understand.
Any other takers? Remember: you'll be considered a hero!

Maybe something like this?

Looks very nice, one question though, does it do arcs?
(and can i have a copy? pretty please
) -
Hi, that would be a fantastic tool for me !
-
It´s AMAZING Chris!!!
I don´t know how you make it. I was doing this kind of bevel with offset all faces, delete the original geometry and triangulate the vertices. but for making it takes a lot of time.. and have to use a lot of plugins.
It works for curved faces?

Just a little alternative thing:
Its not really bevelling, more of a fillet, but not a bad result
how to:
- buy subd and smooth
2)select the shape to fillet
3)subdivide a couple of times
4)subdivide and smooth

Looks like it works with curves and arcs.

That looks awesome, any ideas when and where it will be available?

Not long. Right now its a bit fussy about the geometry. GTA coming out on Tue might cause delay.

Not to much of a delay i hope

such a good script it would be
.... waiting to see ( but not so patient )

Great job Chris! Looks awesome! As if there weren't enough reasons already to thankyou for your work!
Looks like I won't be finishing my bevel script after all. Oh well!
Looking forward to the release!Dale

Fantastic! Utterly fantastic!
I think you got yourself a hit Ruby there!
There doesn't seem to be an option to set the size of the bevel, though. Am I correct?@burkhard said:

Oh well. You win some, you lose some.
