This is pretty common way of chamfering hard edges in CAD modelling different product casing. I was wondering is there an addon, script or blender function out there that i don't know that can automatically make sharp corner chamfering like that?
- usual chamfering with bevel in blender
- chamfering with sharp corners that i want to do automatically
How this particular type of chamfering is called? I struggle to find info on it without the name. Maybe there reason is it's not that common after all...
This is a four main way it can be modelled by hand.
For Cube like shapes through inset with equal thicnkess\depth
For most non symmetrical shapes with 3 edges - with a help from Tiny Cad. addon: tinyCAD Mesh tools. Included in blender by default.
For shapes with radial symmetry. Again with tinycad.
The longest way for any possible shape with boolean. addon: booltool. Included in blender
When modelling for close-ups Ngons \ chamfer planes created through this process needs to be flat, so just beveling\chamfering in several stages won't do.
