That'll allow us to apply different parametric values to different parts of the model and get different results on different parts of the model. I'm going to use an edit poly modifier to make a sub-object selection to pass up to the chamfer modifier. And we could use the editable poly sub-object selection to do that as we did in previous movie. So if I select the object, go to the modify panel.
