chamfer

Cut a straight transitional edge along a tagged path.

Chamfer is similar in function and use to a fillet, except a fillet will blend the transition along an edge, rather than cut a sharp, straight transitional edge.

chamfer(data: ChamferData, solid: Solid, tag?: TagDeclarator) -> Solid

Arguments

Name	Type	Description	Required
`data`	`ChamferData`	Data for chamfers.	Yes
`solid`	`Solid`	An solid is a collection of extrude surfaces.	Yes
`tag`	`TagDeclarator`		No

Returns

Solid - An solid is a collection of extrude surfaces.

Examples

// Chamfer a mounting plate.
width = 20
length = 10
thickness = 1
chamferLength = 2

mountingPlateSketch = startSketchOn("XY")
  |> startProfileAt([-width / 2, -length / 2], %)
  |> lineTo([width / 2, -length / 2], %, $edge1)
  |> lineTo([width / 2, length / 2], %, $edge2)
  |> lineTo([-width / 2, length / 2], %, $edge3)
  |> close(%, $edge4)

mountingPlate = extrude(thickness, mountingPlateSketch)
  |> chamfer({
       length = chamferLength,
       tags = [
         getNextAdjacentEdge(edge1),
         getNextAdjacentEdge(edge2),
         getNextAdjacentEdge(edge3),
         getNextAdjacentEdge(edge4)
       ]
     }, %)
