Border Filters

Border filters allow you to frame objects in a composition in various ways.

Bevel

Creates a bevelled border around the edges of an object by superimposing an angled
frame over the original image. The simulated direction of reflected light and opacity of
the bevel can be adjusted to vary the effect.

This filter causes rasterization in 3D groups.

Parameters in the Inspector

Light Angle: Sets the angle at which the light is hitting the bevel.

Bevel Width: Sets the width of the bevel as a percentage of the area of the object.

Opacity: Sets the opacity of the bevel, ranging from 0 (invisible) to 1.0 (opaque).

Light Color: Picks the color of the light hitting the bevel border. The color picker can
be expanded with the disclosure triangle to include Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha sliders
to more precisely select colors.
