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 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)
You can also try using dash for a nice documentation viewer, I found it pretty useful with the C++ API if you don’t like the online pages (might need to update from Maya 2020 though):
