Construct Chamfer

Use it!

Used to construct a chamfer between either of the following:

• Two lines — The original lines are trimmed and a third line element forms the chamfer.

• Adjacent segments of a line string or shape — An additional vertex is inserted and the common vertex is adjusted to form the chamfer.

Construct Chamfer tool settings

Tool Setting	Effect
Distance 1	First element or segment identified (step 2).
Distance 2	Second element or segment identified (step 3).

To construct a chamfer

1. Select the Construct Chamfer tool.


2. Identify the first line or segment.


3. Identify the second line or segment.
   If the first data point identifies a line element, the second data point must also identify a line element. If the first data point identifies a segment of a line string or shape, the second data point must identify an adjacent segment of the same element.


4. Accept the chamfer.

   Chamfer. D1 denotes Distance 1. D2 denotes Distance 2.

In 3D, both elements must be on the same plane to be chamfered.
