Bevel Technology Tools_Bevel ICON enables you to insert bevels into elements. Bevel Technology Tools_Bevel ICON is only available in the Parts work area. You must create bevels before turning elements into profiles.

The software displays bevel types on elements in different colors in the work area so that you can distinguish them from each other. After you turn elements into profiles, the software displays different bevel icons on the profiles to indicate the bevel types. Point to a bevel icon to display a bigger preview image of the bevel in the work area.
