us points on the selected edge. Drag the arrows to change the radius value at each location.
Corner Setback
If you create an edge blend on three edges that come together at a corner, you have the
option to control how these three blends are blend together. Activate the
Edge Blend
com-
mand and select the three edges that meet together at a corner. On the
Edge Blend
dialog,
expand the
Corner Setback
section and click
Select End Point
. Now, click on the vertex
where the three blends meet. You will notice that three arrows appear at the corner. Drag
these arrows to change the setback distances dynamically (or) type-in values in the indi-
vidual setback boxes.
