- [Instructor] The chamfer tool works very similar to the fillet tool inside of SOLIDWORKS. In fact, if you go over here under the fillet drop down, you can see we have a chamfer option. We have several different ways to choose a chamfer. We have the distance in angle. We the distance distance. We have this little corner vertex chamfer, as well as a couple other ones down here.
