Hi, I'm looking for different methods of dealing with a common problem I face using PolyBevel. I've attached a hip file with explanation below.

When a PolyBevel intersects/overlaps other edges, it becomes a problem. I usually aim to work around this via planning but often need to tweak the geometry instead.

I'm looking for a procedural way of achieving the results shown in the hip file. I've used a box as a simple way to illustrate the problem. (methods need to work on any geometry) I've edited it manually to show the sort of results I need from a procedural method. (to apply after the bevel, referencing the bevel distance)

Result 1 - Edges near bevel are slid away from bevel.
Result 2 - Edges near bevel are slid away with a soft radius.
Result 3 - Edges near bevel are dissolved.

Ideally, I'd also like to be able to control the slide distance, soft radius and dissolve distance.

thanks
Rob
