1 Curve chamfer
Curve chamfering, turning a line into a tube.
- select a line
- Right side, object data properties｜geometric data｜chamfering
Depth: the size of the radius of the cross-section circle
Resolution: how many sides of the cross-section circle

Key points and details
Expand outward with the curve as the central axis to obtain a circular pipe (the cross section is circular)
2 Parameters of chamfering
Select the curve object, press TAB to edit
1 Select a control point
2 Press the n key to open the sidebar｜entry
- Radius, the thickness of the tube
- Tilting, twisting of the tube
3 cross section
Chamfered cross section
Cross section settings for curved chamfers:
-Create another closed curve b
-Select curve a, set curve b as the cross section according to the right figure
Among them, it is generally required that the curve b is in the xy plane
Among them, the actual use is the projection of the curve b in the xy plane of the local coordinate system
The local coordinate system is the coordinate system of the object itself.

5 ADD: path curve
Path curve, a type of NURBS curve
The operation method is similar:
- Move control points
-Curved chamfer
- control point radius
