Edit a profile and its edge treatment

Adjust supported profile settings or choose an edge treatment for an extrusion.

Profile controls depend on how the object was made. An extrusion can offer Edge Profile and Edge Size. A profile-generated form can offer Edit profile controls for its originating operation. These controls are separate from selecting individual edges in Reshape.

1

Select the object

Select the extrusion or profile-generated object in 3D. Inspect the profile controls offered for that object. Do not expect every wizard object or imported model to expose the same settings.

2

Choose an extrusion edge profile

Where Edge Profile is offered, choose a preset such as Square, a chamfer, a round, Bullnose, Ogee or Step. The current eight presets include small and large chamfer/round treatments. A changed preset receives its supported default size.

3

Set Edge Size

For a non-square profile, use Edge Size to adjust the treatment. The allowed size is bounded by the extrusion's geometry. Enter a length in project units or an explicit unit. Selecting Square removes that edge treatment.

4

Edit a generated profile

For a profile-generated form, use its Edit profile controls where available. Only parameters supported by the original operation are shown. Inspect the result after changing a profile or a dimension.

5

Use Reshape for selected elements

If you need to alter particular faces, edges or points instead of the complete profile, open Reshape and use the available element operations. Undo reverses a committed profile or edge change.
