Question Chamfer and fillet

Hi, all!
Suppose I have created a cube and I want to chamfer or fillet one (to make things simpler) of its edges.
Is there a reasonably easy way to do that (chamfering being easier than filleting)? A tutorial or a plugin somewhere?
Thanks,
Thierry

One way to do that.

Slice 2 surfaces on your cube :


Select this edge (select both vertices) :


Now open the 'Move Toward or Away' script, and push the '>' button :


Select one of the edge you have created on your cube :

Move that edge Toward by 95 % :


Do the same move for the other edge on the other surface.

You should end up with that :


Select these 4 vertices :


and make them the reference point of the move for the 'Move Toward ...' script.

Select the edge of the cube and move it toward by 50 %.

You should end up with that :


(beware of the 6 sided surface).

HTH.
