Is there a way to undo a chamfer later on?

I made a model and add a couple chamfers. Later, while working with it in CAM, I found that the chamfers complicated the process. Is there a way to "Un-chamfer" or "Un-fillet" and edge?

If you have Capture Design History turned on (parametric modeling) you can Suppress Features (chamfers, fillets, or anything else that's an independent feature) by right-clicking that particular item at the bottom of the screen and selecting to do so.

 

If you have a large Design History it can help to locate a particular feature by clicking on the model feature itself, which will then highlight its location in the History below.

I'm new top F360. The first thing that I thought of was to suppress the feature in the timeline. But if you did sketches after the chamfer / fillets you might get errors that you have to fix.

Which is one of the reasons that cosmetic chamfers and fillets are supposed to be done last 😉

Select the chamfer or fillet, press delete. Yep, it's that easy. This is one of my favorite features of F360. It also works with other features and is one of the best and often overlooked methods of simplifying a model.

Yes, you can and I just found out it is very easy.

All you need to do is click to select the entire chamfered part of the item and hit delete on your keyboard, the result should be that the chamfer deletes and you get the unchamfered item.

This was exactly what I was looking for...allowed me to un-chamfer a single edge instead of the entire chain I did in that step.
