-Bevel Start/End
- These options determine where to start/end the Bevel operation on the curve.
- This allows to make a bevelled curve which is not fully covered with a bevel.
+Factor Start, End
+ These options determine where to start/end the geometry of the curve.
+ This allows to make a curve which is not fully covered with geometry.
- Increasing the *Start Bevel Factor* to 0.5 will start beveling the curve 50% of the distance from the start
- of the curve (in effect shortening the curve).
- Decreasing the *End Bevel Factor* by 0.25 will start beveling the curve 25% of the distance from the end
- of the curve (again, shortening the curve).
