MultiBevel is a powerful Blender add-on that takes the hassle out of managing edge beveling.
With just a button click, you can save selected edges into custom attributes, making them easy to manage and reuse.
Each saved attribute can then be seamlessly assigned to its own Bevel Modifier, allowing you to quickly create and manage multiple Bevel Modifiers across different edge selections within a single model.
Forget the tedious task of manually assigning bevel weights and configuring Bevel Modifiers – MultiBevel does it all for you in just a few clicks.

Additionally, MultiBevel allows you to recall and update previously set attributes effortlessly, a feature not natively available in Blender.
This makes it easy to refine and adjust your edge selections even after they’ve been assigned.

Key Features:

  • Automatically create custom edge attributes and assign them to the Bevel Modifier under Weight.
  • Manage multiple bevel attributes effortlessly through a clean, intuitive interface.
  • Easily tweak bevel settings, such as width and segments, directly in the panel.
  • Select edges with existing attributes or remove attributes with a single click.
  • Save time and enhance precision in your modeling workflow.

Whether you’re working on complex models or simple designs, MultiBevel empowers you to focus on creativity rather than repetitive tasks.

Ideal for anyone looking to streamline their Blender workflow and work more efficiently with ease.

 

MultiBevel Add-On Documentation

Installation
Download the .zip file containing the add-on.
Open Blender and go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons.
Click on the dropdown menu in the top-right corner labeled ‚Add-ons Settings‘ and select ‚Install from Disk‘.

Locate the downloaded .zip file and select it.
Enable the add-on by checking the box next to MultiBevel.
The panel will appear in the 3D View > N-Panel > MultiBevel.

How to Use:
Select Edges:
Switch to Edit Mode and select the edges to which you want to assign a bevel.

Save Edges for Bevel Modifier:
In the MultiBevel panel, click Save Edges for Bevel Modifier.
Enter a unique name for the attribute and click OK.
MultiBevel will create a button that allows you to reselect the previously saved edges effortlessly.

These edges are automatically stored as custom attributes within the mesh.

Add a Bevel Modifier:
Click the bevel button located to the right of the attribute button.

Adjust Bevel Settings:
Use the sliders in the MultiBevel panel to adjust the bevel width and segment count for each attribute.

If the adjustment steps feel too fast, hold down the Shift key for finer control.

You can also enter values numerically.

Repeat the Process:
Repeat the process for a new selection of edges, ensuring you assign a unique attribute name to each set.

If you use a name that already exists, you will see a brief message indicating that the attribute was not created to prevent accidental overwriting of your previous selection.

If you intentionally want to use the same name, enable the ‚Overwrite if exists‘ checkbox.

This will replace the existing button and its associated edges with the new selection.

Delete an Edge Selection:
To delete an edge selection, click the trash can icon.
This action will remove the custom attribute and its associated bevel modifier.

Edge Selection Button:
If you’ve already created a button for the edge selection, you can automatically select those edges by simply clicking on the button.

You can now make changes to the selection.

f you use the same name and activate the ‚Overwrite if exists‘ checkbox, the button will automatically update with the new selection.

s already mentioned, if you do not activate the checkbox and use a name that already exists, you will receive a notification indicating that the attribute already exists and could not be created.

The Bevel Modifiers created with the plugin can, of course, be adjusted directly in the Modifier settings, just as you’re used to.

While you can change the amount and segment values there, these changes will not be reflected in the panel view.

This can be useful for experimenting with different settings without affecting the panel values.

However, if you make changes in the panel again, the panel values will automatically overwrite the Modifier settings.

I found this functionality quite practical for testing and refining adjustments.

 

Troubleshooting

Issues with Edges Used in Multiple Attributes:
If edges are assigned to multiple attributes and one of the attributes is deleted, problems may arise—especially if one of the deleted edges is also used in another modifier.

This is not an error in the add-on; rather, it behaves the same way as Blender does.

If you perform the same actions manually in Blender, the same issue will occur.

Solution:
To resolve this, delete all attributes and their corresponding modifiers that have been used multiple times, and then recreate them.

Compatibility
Compatible with Blender  4.3.x versions.
Designed for mesh objects only.
