Chamfer by edge weight workflow

[teratron]

Edge weight of 0 should not chamfer when in chamfer by weight mode. Currently it makes a chamfer at 0 scale which ads vertices that cause problems with the mesh. Radius bias would also work better if extra verts were not created.

Also in editable poly the default weight of edges should be 0. Alternatively, an option to set new edges to a certain weight would also work. This way you don’t constantly have to set new edges to 0. The idea is that edges are not chamfered unless there are specifically told to do so.

This system makes for a nice nondestructive chamfer workflow.

It looks like this was a bug with 2021 as the 2020 version works this way.
Having an option to set newly created edge weight in edit(able) poly (Crease and Depth would also be cool) values, or just default them to 0. Would still be super awesome.
Bug should be getting logged. https://polycount.com/discussion/210021/3dsmax-2020-chamfer-modifier/p2

fixed with 2022?

I suggest to repost this idea separately with good illustrated images and a more suggestive and precise title for the options and defaults you just mentioned: option to set weigh, crease and depth values for newly created edges, default 0 weight for newly created edges , vertex chamfer between edges with different weights should be an average between those two

what workflow setting the depth of newly created edges would serve? care to expand on this!

also the vertex chamfer between edges with different weight values: How is the current behavior? pls provide some images
