Straight Bevel¶
Bevels selected edges with perfectly straight, perpendicular cuts across the neighbouring faces — for corner ridges where the regular bevel bows the new edge or drifts off a true offset. From the same session you can switch to a rounded Percent bevel, or a Flat Fan that keeps the corner coplanar with a cap face you pick. Drag or type the offset. Edit Mesh mode.
Hotkey: Not bound by default — assign a key in Preferences › iOps › Keymaps, or run it from the iOps pie / operator search. Also available: iOps Pie › Straight Bevel.
Controls¶
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Move mouse | Set the offset |
| Shift + drag | Precise (slow) adjustment |
| Ctrl + drag | Snap the offset to 0.1 steps |
| 0–9, ., Backspace | Type an exact offset |
| B | Percent (rounded) bevel preview |
| F | Flat Fan preview |
| Q | Flat Fan: pick the alignment face under the cursor |
| W | Flat Fan: project / recompute the boundary |
| Wheel | Segments (Percent / Flat Fan only) |
| C | Clean up coplanar leftovers after the bevel |
| S | Snap cut endpoints to the chain end vertex |
| MMB | Navigate the viewport |
| H | Show / hide the help legend |
| LMB / Enter / Space | Confirm |
| Esc / RMB | Cancel |
Options¶
- Offset — perpendicular distance from the ridge to the new cut.
- Mode — Straight, Percent or Flat Fan.
- Segments — for Percent and Flat Fan modes (1–16).
- Align Mode — Flat Fan boundary: project onto the picked face, or resample evenly in its plane.
- Cleanup — dissolve geometry left coplanar with the alignment faces.
- Snap to Endpoint — weld the cut end into the chain end vertex.
Tips¶
- The offset is capped so no cut can run past the end of its neighbouring edge.
- A face picked with Q is not remembered by the redo panel; redo uses the best automatic candidate.
