Set the Edge Bevel
to 300mm, as in Figure 8.5.
Figure 8.5 Set the Edge Bevel to 300mm.
Note
10. Close the Numeric panel and turn off the edge bevel. You??™ll notice that the edges
are still selected. That??™s good, because you can tell Modeler to convert this selection
from edges to polygons. From the Select drop-down menu at the top left of
the interface, choose Sel Switch, which switches your selection from edges to polygons,
as shown in Figure 8.6.
The requester for Edge Bevel shows an option to enable Preview Mode. Doing so
allows you to preview the edge bevel, and is shown with blue outlines in the viewports.
The bevel is not actually applied but only previewed.

Figure 8.6 You can use Sel Switch to convert from one selection to another.
Note
11. With the newly created polygons now selected, click the Multishift tool on the
Multiply tab under the Extend category. Then, open the Numeric panel from the
bottom of the interface. Basically, you want to bevel these polygons running down
the corners of the soon-to-be banana. But LightWave??™s bevel tool will separate the
multiple polygons.
