Linear Blend

The Linear blend profile (L1 norm) creates a flat 45-degree chamfer at boolean intersections. The additional Blend Smooth parameter can round the sharp chamfer edges.

Basic Usage

  1. Add a Boolean modifier to a Chisel object
  2. Set Blend Profile to Linear
  3. Increase Blend Radius for the chamfer width
  4. Optionally increase Blend Smooth to round the chamfer edges

Characteristics

  • Flat 45-degree bevel at the boolean intersection
  • Sharp, geometric appearance
  • Asymmetric formulas for Difference and Intersect operations
  • Can combine with Blend Smooth for a hybrid chamfer-fillet look

Parameters

Blend Radius

  • Range: 0.0 to 2.0 (soft max 1.0)
  • Default: 0.0
  • Effect: Width of the flat chamfer

Blend Smooth

  • Description: Rounds the sharp edges where the chamfer meets the surfaces
  • Range: 0.0 to 1.0 (soft max 0.5)
  • Default: 0.0
  • Effect: 0 = sharp chamfer, higher = rounder transitions
