To use the Non-Destructive Bevel, the plugin must be loaded in the Plug-in Manager.

The plugin should load automatically whenever you use the Create function.
If you want to open a scene with a Non-Destructive Bevel node inside, you might want to load the plugin first otherwise you will only see the original object and not the beveled object.

Loading automatically #

If you enabled the Non-Destructive Bevel in the Startup Settings, the plugin will be loaded automatically on Maya’s startup.

Loading manually #

If the plugin is not loading automatically or if you want to load the plugin manually, you can do it by following the steps below.

  • Open the Plug-in Manager from the menu bar: Windows → Settings/Preferences → Plug-in Manager.
  • Find the NonDestructiveBevel.py in the plugins list.
  • Click on the Loaded checkbox to load the plugin.

Plugin Security Warning #

If you ever receive a Security Warning when loading the plugin, first make sure that the tool is installed correctly or you can try uninstalling and re-installing the tool.

If you got the tool from a trusted source such as our ArtStation Store then you can safely press the Allow button.
