Chamfer Corner > One Corner (Trim Menu)

This command can be used to chamfer a corner within a curve or surface. Only corners made up of two lines can be chamfered.

After choosing the command, a dialog appears, in which the chamfer angle and length can be entered.

The position at which the object was identified (the "ID point") affects how the command is carried out. It determines which corner will be chamfered (see graphic).

Unless you chose a symmetrical angle, a dialog asks whether to measure the angle relative to the first or second edge after the curve or surface has been identified. The first edge is the edge before the identified corner (according to the objects orientation), the second edge is the edge behind the identified corner (according to the objects orientation). To see an object’s orientation, activate the "Direction Arrows" option at Manage > Drawing Settings > Screen.

Note a basic rule for trimming: The object changes, wherever it is clicked on.

If the two lines of the "corner" are parallel, then an error message appears.

A corner made from two individual lines can be chamfered using the command Chamfer Corner > Object - Object. All the corners of a curve or surface can be chamfered at once using the command Chamfer Corner > Complete.
