Thank you very much. I'm a huge fan of the ND plug-in and have been waiting for more tutorials on the use of ND workflow.

[@RetArm]

How this has only 15 upvotes is beyond me. I have eliminated 3 other addons due to using ND. It is my go to addon.
Thank you for another great video.

[@ollied2025]

This is great. A 'learning by example' series would be brilliant starting with simple objects

[@HugeMenace]

Thanks! We also think this is a good idea, so stay tuned...

[@danialsoozani]

Amazingly done! great tutorials and add-on (extension :D) you add nice humor to the videos I like it!

[@rodiontref]

Thank you for the detailed guide and, of course, for the cool addon. But for some reason I kept getting new Vertex Groups when I changed Bevel, and this made editing in the viewport difficult.

[@HugeMenace]

Thank you! When you run Vertex Bevel for the second time on the same object, does the green Recall mode appear?

Can I duplicate the effect of a 'Knife Project' function in a non-destructive context?

[@HugeMenace]

The closest thing to a knife-project would be a boolean "slice" operation. - Tristan

[@DaveTimperley]

@@HugeMenace Thanks for that. It's a bugger finding an operator that does the job you want, but it hasn't been implimented in Blender Modifiers. Some things in Blender really want to still be back in the Nineties 🙂
