modeldoc2::featurechamfer -- what is it?
anyone have any idea what this function is meant to do? the docs say the following about the parameters:
=========
width
width of the chamfer in meters
angle
angle of the chamfer
flip
0 if angle is to be measured from the right face
1 if angle is to be measured from the left face
========
i can't divine from this what ui functionality this is meant to duplicate. macros to create chamfer features typically use the featuremanager::insertfeaturechamfer function, so i'm not sure where this function would be used.
it is meant to create a chamfer i would of thought, but i cannot get it to do so under any circumstance. perhaps it is a deprecated function that simply forgot to be marked as such considering it was available since 2001+
