Modifying a Chamfered Edge

Select a chamfered edge or a chain of chamfered edges.

  • To change the setback distance of one side of the chamfer, pull the arrow above or below the chamfer, as shown below. Press the space bar while pulling to type a distance value. You can also change both setback distances in the Properties panel and in the mini-toolbar. The Up To tool guide can be used to pull the setback up to an object.

  • To change the offset distance of the chamfer, pull the arrow that is perpendicular to the chamfer, as shown below. Press the spacebar while pulling to type a distance value.

  • To modify by Distance and Angle, select one of the side handles to display the mini-toolbar and click the Angle dimension option. The selected side becomes the distance side and the other switches to angle.

  • To convert the chamfer to a normal face, select False in the Chamfer field of the Properties panel. You can select True to convert a face to a chamfer, however, faces with holes cannot be modified as chamfers. Changing this property does not change the geometry. See the instructions below to remove a chamfer from an edge.

Note: Hold the Shift key while pulling a chamfer setback or offset to snap to existing edges.
