About Bevelled Extrude
Bevelled Extrude is a Blender add‑on from Mark Kingsnorth that adds configurable bevels to the base, corners and tops of extrusions, useful for smooth recesses or protrusions. Version 1.53, updated July 2026, supports Blender 3.0 and later and includes an interactive mode where the extrusion can be moved with the mouse. Keyboard shortcuts on the top row adjust top (Q/A), corner (W/S), and base (E/D) bevels, taper (R/F), mode switching (T) and smoothing (G). The mouse wheel changes segment count or bevel weights in Edge Weight Mode, which sets bevel weights for use with Blender’s Bevel Modifier, preserving geometry. Access is via the comma key or the Mesh > Extrusion submenu (Alt‑E). The add‑on can extrude individual faces as well as groups. A demo video is provided by the developer.
