Target layer: Polyline, Polygon

Description: The tool will chamfer (bevel) all corners of a polyline or polygon with user specified distance.

Usage: 

• Select the Chamfer Tool
• Press the "S" key to specify chamfer distance. The selected distance is persistent - unless the "S" key is pressed again the specified chamfer distance will be used for the next vertices selected with the tool.
• Click on the polyline or polygon which you want to chamfer at all vertices..

Hot Keys : 

• "S" - sets the chamfer distance

Attribute Updates: The attributes of the original polylines are preserved.

Example:

Before Chamfer

After Chamfer

Notes :

• The function can be used on polygon and polylines. It is very important to understand that if the tool is used on polygons that have neighbors GAPS will be introduced on the boundaries between the neighboring polygons.
• If one of the segments connected in a specific vertex is a circular arc the chamfer will not be performed
• If the chamfer distance is larger then the length of one of the segments connected in a specific vertex, the chamfer will not be performed.
• If the chamfer is performed on Z or M enabled polygons or polylines, the Z (M) values of the two vertices introduced for each original vertex will be the same as the Z (M) value of the original chamfered vertex.
