chamfer vs chamfer

Marc_Miller

Is there a technical term/name to differentiate between these two different chamferred corner types?

For the red cube a single chamfer operation was used and the six faces were selected as the entities to chamfer.  (All  twelve edges could have also been selected instead of the six faces.)
For the green cube three separate chamfer operations seem to be needed, with the four parallel edges in the x, y, and z direction selected for each operation.

I was wishing there was a checkbox of some sort in the chamfer operation to give the corner result on the green cube without needing to use three chamfer operations.

I like Jason's method. It's straightforward. But if you don't like using Delete Face for some reason, you can do this using 2 chamfer features (instead of 3). Onshape makes that corner triangle only when a single chamfer feature includes 3 intersecting edges. So you can select the top and bottom face with one chamfer and the connecting side edges with a second chamfer.

Feature script?

You could select the flat triangle faces and use the 'Delete face' feature.
