The Bevel Edges tool works only on selected edges with exactly two adjacent faces. It will recognize any edges included in a vertex or face selection as well, and perform the bevel the same as if those edges were explicitly selected. In “vertex only” mode, the Bevel Vertices tool works on selected vertices instead of edges, and there is no requirement about having any adjacent faces. The Bevel tool smooths the edges and/or “corners” (vertices) by replacing them with faces making smooth profiles with a specified number of segments (see the options below for details about the bevel algorithm).

Use Ctrl-B or a method listed above to run the tool. Move the mouse to interactively or type a number to specify the bevel offset, and scroll the Wheel to increase or decrease the number of segments (see below).

Note

Normal (edge) beveling only works on edges that have exactly two faces attached to them. Vertex beveling has no such restriction.
