Rounding
Chisel supports per-primitive edge rounding with three distinct profile types. Rounding is applied mathematically in the distance field, producing perfectly smooth results without extra geometry.
Available Profiles
- Sphere Profile (L2 norm): Perfect circular fillet
- Smooth Profile (L4 super-ellipse): Tighter transition, concentrates blending at edges
- Linear Profile (L1 norm): Flat 45-degree chamfer with optional smoothing
How Rounding Works
Each primitive that supports rounding has two controls:
- Rounding: The radius of the edge fillet (0.0 = sharp, higher = rounder)
- Profile: The mathematical curve used for the fillet shape
For the Linear profile, an additional Chamfer Smooth parameter softens the sharp chamfer edges.
