And when I say jenky edges, I'll show you what they look like, because what is new in our 21 is the ability for the new caps and bevels to avoid self intersections. You're going to see as I crank this up, we're actually not going to get all those really weird jenky edges that used to have to watch out for in the past. ![]() And you're going to see that we have this a new way to calculate the, uh, bevels here.ĮJ Hassenfratz (03:42): Let me just go and grab this SSO so we can really see what's going on here, but we've got all these really cool stepped bevels and again, you can control however many you want and again, get really cool like art deco kind of stuff. So we can go like really cool, like art deco kind of thing, and adjust the size here. And let me just get out of garage shading lines here and here, you can see that we have all these different segments or steps of that stepped bevel shape. Uh, another cool thing is the ability to get a step type of bevel shape. If I just go into my, uh, garage shading lines, you can see all those segments there and there's the shape depth I can get this really nice concave bevel or, you know, bloated out a convex bevel, lot more control there. And again, this is going to control both the segments on the front and back. So you can see here, nice concave kind of deal there. We can adjust the shape depth so we can actually get like more of an inner bevel kind of going on. Um, but one thing that's really cool is we have the size here. So that's a big like quality of life, kind of a enhancer there. And you can go knock yourself out by applying different bevels on your front and back end. But if you want to have those separate bevel controls, you can still separate them by just checking on the separate bevel controls. You can control both your start and end caps at once and get really nice. Meanwhile, in our 21, they're fused together, they're mirrored. And there's just so many settings that you had to take care of. So it was a lot of just manually changing things, making sure that everything was kind of matching. If you wanted to add a nice round bevel to the front and back of your, uh, Motech subject, you have to go into the caps and remember the start and end caps were separated and you'd have to go to fill it cap on the one, fill the cap on the other one.ĮJ Hassenfratz (01:54): And if you wanted to adjust each of these options, you'd have to do that for each of the start and end. Now you might think like, oh, woopty, do what's the big deal with that? Actually, that's pretty huge because if you remember in our 20 and below, let me just jump into our 20 here. ![]() I just go in just click and drag and adjust this size and you see, we have a nice rounded bevel and it's applied to the front and the back. And one of the biggest things is if I want to have just a rounded bevel, this is kind of the default, uh, bevel shape. So I'm just going to delete those too, but let's go ahead and dig in here. ![]() So I'll cover that a little bit later, but just want you to be aware that the new caps in bevels are not just limited to mow techs.ĮJ Hassenfratz (01:10): Okay. So let's dig into the new caps and bevels in our 21, and I'm going to use a MoTeC subject cause that's kind of like the most obvious use case for the new capstan bevels, but keep in mind that you can also access these same cap controls and cap updates in extrudes or sweeps here. The links will be in the description below. Now, if you want to follow along with what I'm working on, be sure to download the project files.
