A quick post to see how to bevel edges in version 3.5? It used to be easy in 3.0 and its important for certain shapes we use - such as the top of telephone boxes.
 
Also, i notice the extrude along path has gone as well, how would say a mug handle be made without the path tool?
 
Cheers

(getting to grips with 3.5)

Hey Smithe, thi si sthe question I asked also (never worked on 3, went directly to 3.5 and in the book they say  
No more bevel
No More Mirror
No more extrude along path
 
 
I use Lightwave everyday and those tools are very important for some shapes, yes like mugs handle, or I tohught about curced banisters.... also the mirror tool, terrible, do they expect me to remodel twice the things ???
 
I am like you , we need an answer...!
 
Later

Maybe i've missed something, but without the path and bevel tools how am i meant to create smooth edges to boxes or handles?
 
Got a project to work on and its almost worth going back to 3.0.
 
Any advice or help?
 
Cheers

Hi Smithee, Hi Steff,
 
  To help you in your current work, some proposal for workarounds:
 
- Mirror: duplicate object + edit the pivot point + negative scaling on one of the axis + inverse normals
- bevel faces: can be done with several extrude + rescale  
- extrude along path: several extrude + rotate (you already used this, I guess)
 
  Except for bevel tool, we identified those tools as "buggy" and "difficult to use" tools of IM3.0 . Those tools need first improvements on our side, and are for sure good candidates for the next versions of IM.
 
Thanks again for your feedback,
 
Stef

I could deal without bevel and mirror (good workaround BTW Stef), but the workaround for extrude along a path is so so..... I know how to deal with this (you said it, bot forgot the move.... so that's 3 commands for one step)
 
1-extrude
2-move
3-rotate
 
This is a long route man..... I hope to see an upgrade with those tools back in game.........
