Reshape Operations

Reshape operations deform and modify the geometry of your objects, allowing you to create organic and complex forms from simple shapes. They sit in two groups on the toolbar, Round & Offset and Deform; the right-click Modify menu has a submenu for each.

Round & Offset

  • Fillet - Round the edges you pick, or the corners of a 2D path
  • Chamfer - Cut the edges you pick flat, or the corners of a 2D path
  • Round All Edges - Round every outside edge of a solid at one radius
  • Round Inside Edges - Fill every inside corner of a solid at one radius
  • Dilate - Grow a solid outward and round outside edges
  • Erode - Shrink a solid inward and round inside corners
  • Hollow Out - Create a hollow shell from a solid object
