Features
Chamfer
Chamfer cuts a straight bevel on a supported selected edge or primitive end. Like Fillet, the feature is owned by the design object rather than treated as an unrelated visible cutter.

- When to use it

Step by step
- Select the owning object and choose Chamfer.
- Pick the intended edge or end.
- Set the chamfer amount.
- Commit only after the preview shows the correct side of the edge.
Box edges
Box feature topology distinguishes named edge positions so a top, bottom, side or vertical edge can be treated separately.
Round primitive ends
Cylinder and cone end chamfers are rebuilt into the profile for Plant 3D™ export.
Wedge/pyramid
These primitives have more orientation-sensitive edge topology. Confirm the selected named edge visually before committing.
Keep in mind
- If a chamfer appears on the wrong side after rotating a Wedge/Pyramid, cancel and reselect the exact edge rather than compensating with a negative amount.
