Made a switch to Blender 2.58

Falin

So I've finally had enough of True Space (I know it took awhile), and can't afford the nicer programs, so i thought I'd try blender again now that it's come a long way in it development.

Seems in the 2.5 series there is no bevel function (all the docs refer to it, but are only updated to 2.49 and the couple of 2.5's I've tried don't have it where they say it is and i can't find it anywhere), and just wondering if anyone knows a good add-on for that one as well as any others you might suggest.

going to take me awhile to get used to the interface and how to manipulate things.

you'll want to add a bevel modifier to the object:

(F9 panel)

Hmm...F9 does nothing, CTRL+Shift+E Does nothing, but did find a Bevel on far right panel, but it affected the whole object, not just the chosen edge or face.

Try switching the modifier to use weight and then in edit mode, pick the edges and set the bevel weight from the Mesh -> Edges menu.

Falin

Really thinking I must have some Preference set wrong somewhere, there is no Bevel feature in the mesh->edges menu or the face menu.

ok, since this is a problem, i'll have to hit the Blender forums for this problem, but as before any add-ons that I should have that are useful while i try to solve this problem?

Stupid me, should have checked the Blender forums first on the bevel:
