Expand description
Chamfers: the bevel that replaces an edge.
P4’s opening stone, built deliberately on M3’s shoulders: a chamfer along a straight edge between two planar faces is a wedge subtracted, and the wedge’s own faces lie exactly on the solid’s (coplanar, materials aligned), which is the same-domain case the boolean learned to resolve.
Three spellings, one construction. The symmetric chamfer cuts the same distance along both faces; the distance-distance form cuts a named distance along a named face and another along its neighbour; the distance-angle form cuts a distance along the named face and leaves it at an angle, with the second distance derived where that bevel meets the other face. All three end in the same wedge subtraction.
Two seats per spelling. A straight edge between planes takes the triangular prism above; the circular rim where a cylindrical wall meets a perpendicular planar cap takes a revolved wedge whose bevel is a cone: the same flanks the rim fillet builds, with the quarter-tube exchanged for the slant, and the same melt taking the legs away.
