How does one chamfer an edge only over part of the edge's length?

Hi,
I use onshape to design woodworking projects. We woodworkers often create a chamfer that does not apply to the entire length of an edge. We very often prefer a smooth transition from a perfectly square edge to a chamfer. This treatment is very common on table legs for example. For illustration please follow this URL:

How does one accomplish this in onshape?
Thank you.

Probably best just using a midplane plane and extrude remove.
