Hello.

I can't find a simple way to do a bevel in crease mode on a flat grid like I can do it in a extruded grid.

Is it possible to do it without making a complex VEX coding?

I'm sure it has to be a way.

Hi, I've shown 4 basic workarounds. Not sure if they'll be suitable for anything other than a grid though...

1) Use clip and reference the grid size and offsets.
2) Extrude, bevel, keep front and match size to recenter it.
3) Extrude, bevel, keep back and reverse. (in case you don't want to extrude/recenter)
4) Use inset (albeit with different results)

To "bevel" means to shape 2 surfaces that meet at an angle (or two lines, in a 2D version). What you're doing with a 2D grid isn't really a bevel, but a form of subdividing. Try PolyExtrude with no "Distance" and some "inset".
