Chamfer is the bevel equivelent and is pretty straight forward to use so
I won't bother explaining.
Instead of deleting a surface like you did, try selecting the face and
use the extract tool or just hide it and then you can either average
weld or directly weld it back when you want to.. The close tool works
great on the end of an open pipe for instance and stuff like that, but
it won't create a major surface.
Hexagon has some peculiar nuances that take time to get to know and
selecting stuff is one of them.. It likes to jump from points to lines
to faces right when you don't want it to. It would be cool if you could
select one of them (point, line, face) and lock it down. A selection
lock of some sort... I have no idea why it does that, but I seem to have
gotten used to it for the most part and its not that its buggy or
anything like you said, it's just finicky... It's all about doing the
steps in exactly the right order for what you want to do and that takes
a bit of patience to figure out. I find myself keeping my eye on the
interface all at once so I can see when the little bugger switches
selections on me without letting me know. I think maybe it has something
to do with using full Dg or at least it is a speculation at this point
and that the program likes to remember what last action you took and
switches the selection back to that (edge, point, face) even though you
wanted something else. Maybe Thomas or Pascal can explain it better ;)

Subject: [Carrara] Hexagon questions having issues
I have a few questions about Hex.
- Is there a bevel tool in Hex, I need to put a rounded edge on an
object
and I would think this would be a standard tool, it was a tool long
missing
in Carrara.
- Having trouble closing a polygon. I created a Tetrahedron and deleted
on
of the facets leaving a whole I can't close. The close tool does not
work I
press it and it does nothing, very frustration.
- Have any Hex user experienced the program acting goofy at time when
trying
to select an object at times no matter what I do the program wont select
for
several attempts then kicks in. It is not hung up just not working.
This
is very frustrating.
