      Draw the two edges in using the magenta inference then pushpull.

        You want it to look like in the pictures. You can use Round Corner plugin.

        How exactly Round corner would solve this task?
        I thought of JPP (Follow pushpull)- but unfortunately it has no snap at the moment the pushed chamfer desappears. And there's 'delete coplanar edges' (of fredo6?) for one-click cleaning.

          I don't think you understood the question. It was how to REMOVE chamfers, not how to ADD them. ๐Ÿ˜„

            That was the first think I tried. While that works, it has lots of mouseclicks then cleanup. I think my way may be faster.

              Best will be a plugin who special join 2 any faces by the common edges starting the chamfer (or fillet) and kill them! ๐Ÿ˜‰

              Don't know if yet existing?

              But that is a funny challenge with the native tools! โ˜€

                Or even a merge vertices which merged them to the second point selected (instead of the average of the two). Newtek has one called "weld" which will move all the points to the last selected. Very handy!

                  This was my first thought as well.

                  Nothing is worthless, it can always be used as a bad example.

                    my try, x1 speed. suitable for simple cases. Unfortunately TT's flatten works only in Z direction.
                    Flatten, marge coplanar, TIG's fillet, make face were used

                      I like that! One could also use Vertex Tools to flatten as well. I'll have to look into TIG's fillet tool. Thanks for sharing!!!

                        One couldn't. Vertex tools aren't 100% precise.

                          They've worked for me. I typically scale to ~0 two or three times in a row and haven't had any problems creating planar faces. Artisan also has a make planar feature. Both also work on non orthogonal geometry as well.

                            Hmm.. Does 'make faces' work after x3 VT scale to 0 on NON-XY planes? I'll check it tomorrow.

                              Doh! moment: I discovered Artisan's 'make planar-best'. Vertex tools are way less accurate.

                                I draw a rectangle from outside of the group, make it fit with push pull tool easily, there was one egde to move with move tool and done.. ๐Ÿ˜„

                                  For this special box case with any 4 chamfers (fillets) with only native tools (a big effort from my part! ๐Ÿ’š

                                  • 4 guides lines on any of the original box = 4 clicks
                                  • Draw Oriented Rectangle (second icon of Rectangle Tools) with 3 of intersctions above = 3 Clicks
                                    Push Pull this new rectangle = 1 click

                                  Total = 7 Clicks for an original new oriented box without chamfers(fillets)! ๐Ÿ˜„

                                    Our ways are the same pilou.. "Thinking outside of the box" got its exact meaning.. ๐Ÿ˜„

                                      Sure, maybe there is more tricky for draw easily this rectangle with less clicks! ๐Ÿค“
                                      What is your method ?

                                        OK. But now try it with the file I provided. A simple pushpull extrude won't get it because the sides are NOT parallel.

                                        Here's the link again...

                                            I tried with the shared rectangle with pen tool, as i said above, ฤฑ draw a rectangle that is paralel to the edges, made it fit with push pull tool and there was one edge not fit, selecting edge and moving with move tool solved that..
