Hello, today I am working on some spline patterns, I was expecting to be able to just drop the bevel deformer onto my spline and get a non destructive chamfer..
I just wanted to check if this is possible, doesn’t seem to be.. Definitely something to request if there’s no alternative?

Hi NNenov,

The question is, if the Bevel Deformer can be used directly on a Spline (Primitive or Editable).
Not to my knowledge.

Manually, this would be the Mesh>Spline>Chamfer Tool

3rd Party—Non destructive chamfer: NitroFitMergeSpline

All the best

Great, thanks for the reply, NNenov.

It is certainly a great addition to the tools.

My best wishes
