ApplyEdgeSoftening

The ApplyEdgeSoftening command constructs an edge-softening display mesh for surfaces, polysurfaces, or meshes.

Note

Edge softening applies a mesh radius or chamfer to edges in the model.
Edge Softening appears as a property for the surface.

Steps

1. Select objects to apply edge softening to.
2. Specify command line options.

Box object (left) and box with edge softening applied (right).

Softening options

On

Enables edges softening.

Softening

Specifies a softening amount. The visual radius approximation depends on the density of the underlying mesh.

Chamfer

The edge will be cut straight across with a hard edged chamfer. No attempt is made to soften this into a rounded edge.

Faceted

The object, including the edge softening effect will be shaded as faceted as in FlatShade.
