Instead,Multishift can be used to bevel groups of polygons.
How does Modeler know to switch the current selection to polygons? Good question!
If you had edges selected, the next option is Polygons. If you had Polygons
selected, the next option is Points. If you had Points selected, the next option is Edges.
Just as you press the spacebar multiple times to toggle between the three selection
models, the Sel Switch tool works in a similar fashion.
12. In the requester for Multishift, make sure Group Polygons is checked on. Then,
click and drag in a viewport to bevel the selected polygons.Moving the mouse left
and right will change the Inset amount, while moving the mouse up and down
changes the Shift amount. Set the values to 118mm for the Inset, and 142mm for
the Shift. Figure 8.7 shows the values.
Figure 8.7 Using Multishift, you can bevel large groups of selected polygons.
13. Turn off the Multishift tool and close the Numeric panel.
14. Save your work. Feel free to use and save incrementally by pressing Shift+s.
