Blender 2.63 Bevel - What happened to recursion?

Support Basics & Interface
1

I have just downloaded the official Blender 2.63 release and the recursion option from the bevel tool is missing (http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.63/BMesh). Has this been omitted intentionally?

That was the one tool I was really waiting for :frowning:

Has this been omitted intentionally?
Yes it was removed shortly before 2.63 was released because it didn’t work very well. You can see the poor recursion in the video on that page.

Thanks for the info Richard. That’s a shame.

Meanwhile, get the Bevel Round addon :
https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-extensions/contrib/py/scripts/addons/mesh_bevel_round.py
And put the “mesh_bevel_round.py” file in …\blender-2.63-release-windows32\2.63\scripts\addons\

Enable it in File -> User Preferences -> Addons -> Mesh

It will add a “Bevel Round” button in the edit mode panel (on the left), much better than the stock bevel; it has good “simple” bevel (unlike the stock bevel that has distorted “simple” bevel) and good round (recursion) bevel.

Hopefully will be replacing the bad current Bevel in 2.64

Ricky, after 13 453 messages your keyboard really shows signs of wear, maybe even tear. :smiley:
