By The Quad Chamfer modifier produces all quad chamfers, unlike the normal 3ds Max chamfer which produces a lot of triangles and ngons. Get it from https://mariussilaghi.com/products/quad-chamfer-modifier
It is the succesor of the Quad Chamfer maxscript, improving on by:
•Speed. Being a native c++ plugin now it allows you to modify chamfers in real time.
•Control. You can determine the look of your chamfers by controling their sharpness/roundness.
•Robustness. A robust new algorithm allows you to chamfer any edge combinations without unpredictable results.
•Flexibility. You don’t have to commit to any chamfer, you can always change them later.
•Workflow. With the new “Use Smoothing Groups” option you can chamfer the sharp edge between smoothing groups. This allows you to go under the Quad Chamfer modifier and make changes to the topology without destroying your chamfers.

Extrude - http://yadi.sk/d/EkGItF12LzYAU
I do not believe the 2015 max has been released yet. How were you able to post images of it in action?
.
Maybe 2 weeks ago it was possible to download the trail version of 3dsMax 2015 from the Autodesk site. Meybe he have it from there.
actually, its available again, just quickly tested the download link at autodesk...
hope marius recompile everything, even QC, because maxes has a glitch :(
What exactly is the glitch? Hopefully people are sending in the bug reports.
judge for yourself

I have a script
Now I do not sit in max2014
this script is a high demand
everyone wants to see the work of facets of maya in max. any reputable developer appreciates the time.
.
I suppose that you have Quad Chamfer for max2014. What is the resul of using it in the same scene as you showed above?
Chamfers work in 3ds max 2015 and maya 2015
Standart chamfer - http://yadi.sk/d/ek-T2s4uLzUQe
Quad chamfer - http://yadi.sk/d/9x_8lxyJLzUSN
Bevel in Maya - http://yadi.sk/d/QpZgr9DBLzUTK
What happens if you just extrude that edge cut with "0" height? Should look more like the Maya bevel.
3ds Max 2015
Hey. Modifier does not work in 3ds Max 2015.
I'm waiting for updates :)
.
All SDK plugins have to be recompiled to works with max2015.
Since Max2015 have Quad Chamfer modifier, can you tell us what are the advantages of this modifier vs built-in in max2015?
Hi!
It seems really interesting, but I have a little question; I have tried some other "similar" plugins to smooth edges, but they don't work with a linked AutoCAD 3D objects, nor with imported ones, I don't know why.
As it seems to be common, I would ask you if Quad Chamfer can work with those 3D objects and how, before purchasing.
Thank you!
2014 support
2013 plugins work by default in 2014. Just use the files from 2013.
Quad Chamfer 1.16 update
1.16
- Fixed a lot of bugs and crashes
@cecofuli Before collapsing the quad chamfer modifier add an Edit Mesh modifier on top and then collapse it. Or if it is already collapsed try adding the edit mesh and collapse it again.
BUG: Hi Marius, often I've this bug. For example, with UNDO, the in mesh the round corner disappear.

small bug
There is probably a bug with "Push 2" function. Look at the attachment.

btw its very good plug and time saver
Quad Chamfer mod Trial
I made a 7 days trial version available. Get it from here http://www.mariussilaghi.com/qchamfermod.htm
stealthx right now it is not possible what you are asking, maybe I will find a way to add it in a future release
Really great plugin!!
Could I ask if there is some reason, why "Iterations = 4" add 15 new edges? I can't add for example 2 edges but only 1, 3, 7, 15 ... new edges. This is problem for low-poly models. Would it be possible to have TWO Iterations = TWO new edges?
Changes for v1.13.
- The UI has been redesigned.
- Added ability to save and load presets.
- Added ability to use Round Shading at iteration 0 to make the chamfer look round without adding extra geometry.
- Added a new Face Selection chamfering type.
- The Material Id can be set a zero now so that the new faces inherit the Material ID of the old faces.
- Fixed a bug when chamfering large n-gons with holes in them.
- Fixed a bug that occurred when the cut tool was used on edges that were being chamfered by their edge weights.

soooo coool
Great modifier but screw Autodesk for not including basic functionality like this as default in a 3 grand piece of crap software like 3dsmax.
Quad Chamfer modifier 1.04 released
1.04 - Improves the Chamfer by Edge Weights option by allowing variable chamfers
- Fixes a crash when open chamfering with turbosmooth on top
This update worth a million bucks:)
Quad Chamfer modifier 1.03 released
1.03 - Adds a Chamfer by Edge Weights option
Quad Chamfer modifier 1.02 released
1.02 - Adds a Quad Intersection option to remove n-gons and triangles at intersecting edges

Very good script modifier and let's say most useful tool for industrial and architectural design.
Standard champher operations only works well when you want to destroy sharp edges like this:)
