Bevel intersection type

Hello everyone , one of the most impressive features to have in blender is custom profile bevel , but I was pretty disappointed of how intersections being managed and it was a bit unexpected (grid fill is hilarious and cutout is quite handy) but I feel that we need to take this to another level , why we don't make intersections real ? I mean the bevel intersects logically as we have in dual or corner bevel intersections , so as you can see I managed to get an interseting result by knife intersection the extension of the profiles as shown and it resulted in this after a bit of cleaning , I wanted to demonstrate with more intersections but it will be very tedious to do , so hopefully we can have a real intersection between profiles and for vertex bevel too , it looks cleaner and more logical than the current two modes

I think it depends on the improvement of the booleans, but you are right.

* @ wevon * Yes, it's best to wait for the new boolean code to generalize this behaviour so it works with asymmetric profiles, but I would like to work on this at some point. Just a matter of time...

this is a chamfer by the definition of wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamfer_(geometry ) It would certainly be possible to add this as a "Sharp" intersection type, but it may only look this good in these simple cases.
