Tip:
  • By default, clicking an edge will also select all of its tangent edges. Deselect Tangent Propagation in the microdialog to disable this behavior.
  • Reverse the side the distance and angle are measured from by clicking in the microdialog.
  • If a distance/angle text box is highlighted red due to an invalid edge selection, press Ctrl+Z to undo or press Ctrl while clicking to deselect the edge. The previously valid selection will reappear.
  • Change the default chamfer distance and angle in the Preferences.
