Method

ChamferBuilder.Method

Returns or sets the offset method.

Features.ChamferBuilderOffsetMethod.EdgesAlongFaces Features.ChamferBuilderOffsetMethod.FacesAndTrim

The EdgesAlongFaces method is the normal chamfer in which the chamfer boundary is determined by offsetting the input edges along its adjacent faces. The FacesAndTrim method is the free-form chamfer in which the chamfer boundary is determined by offsetting the adjacent faces of the input edges, using the chamfer parameters in either case.
