Installation:

1. install the persistent base if not already installed
2. drag the node into the link editor
3. delete the node from the scene after install is complete

Usage:

1. make an edge or face selection
2. press the button to open the panel
3. continually drag the offset control to see a preview of the bevel.
4. the selection can be changed at any time before pressing the bevel button
5. Press the Bevel button to commit
6. cleanup bad geometry created
7. run autofacet normals to clean the appearance
8. Note that this tool will eat up many undos on the final bevel

Notes:

• the bevel cannot be undone and at the end of the bevel process all undo history will be emptied
• face selections are converted to edge selections internally
• It works best when all faces are 4 sided and circular shapes are triangulated.
• It is not perfect so some cleanup will be required.
• is not a mode tool, the script runs as you drag the offset and when you push the Bevel button
