UPDATE BASIS MESH

The way the script performs the bevel operation is by storing a copy of the mesh formed from joining the two objects right after the join button is clicked. I’ll be referring to this mesh as the ‘Basis Mesh’, because it is the starting mesh for the bevel operation. More specifically, every time you change any of the bevel parameters, the script first replaces the mesh of the active object with the ‘basis mesh’ and then adds a bevel to that ‘basis mesh’


So if you want to make edits to your mesh before changing any of the bevel parameters, you need to click on the ‘Update Basis Mesh’ button first(in edit mode). What this button does is load the basis mesh of the current mesh so that you can edit it. After making edits, you can either ‘Confirm’ the update or ‘Cancel’.

If you want to mark edges sharp, you need to do so to the ‘Basis Mesh’. So make sure to ‘Enter Edit mode > click ‘Update Basis Mesh > Mark Sharp > Confirm’.

Also for the selected edge option, you need to follow a similar procedure. ‘Enter edit mode > click Update Basis Mesh > Mark Bevel > Confirm’. The Mark Bevel/Clear Bevel options are found at the bottom of the context menu that appears when you right click in the 3D viewport.

You can make any kind of edits to the basis mesh then confirm. CLAMP OVERLAP The ‘clamp overlap’ is a bevel parameter similar to the one you see in the default bevel operator in edit mode. It clamps the beveled edges/vertices if they overlap with the surrounding geometry.

BEVEL HISTORY

This is similar to the ‘Undo History’ of blender. Each bevel operation is stored in this list and you can revert to that state by clicking on it. This reloads the current object’s mesh and basis mesh.
