Chamfer

The chamfer tool is used to make beveled corners. In our context, it can be used to make vertical chamfers on the corners of counter tops.




In the image above we see the chamfered corner of a counter top. When creating a chamfer, you will need to specify the first and second distance. This distance is the distance from the corner to the start of the chamfer. In the image above is a two unit chamfer. You can specify unique distances for each measurement, if desired.


To create a chamfered corner, execute the chamfer, then use the d option to set the chamfer distances. Then select the first line (which will use the first distance), and then select the second line.
