What do 'polybevelcutback' and 'polybevelcutbackOptions' do?

In the hotkey editor while searching for “bevel” amongst what I was looking for, I also found polybevelcutback and polybevelcutbackOptions but searching for these two commands on the internet I have not found any help on them, not even the Maya docs.
Clicking on the “help” button of the options window I get an error:

// Error: No help table entry for ‘PolyBevelCutback’

Does anyone here know what they are? I tried using them on a cube’s face/edge and observed no change. Am on Maya 2025.

I REALLY hate that Autodesk decided not to allow google to index its help pages :angry:
polyBevelCutback is apparently a node type. See here for the node documentation

Also when you search this stuff, make sure to do a text search in the maya install directory. You can often find things like this:
C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2025\scripts\others\performPolyBevelCutback.mel which may help you out.

Unfortunately, the windows search isn’t really helpful for this kind of thing. You’ve gotta use something like findstr (I use ripgrep personally)

Nice, yh I was wondering why I cant search the docs via Google. Now I know why…

Thanks for this, and for the tip too!
