## 1 Add icons to chafer type and method + clean up of UI
- move % in to unit box

## 2 Add Icon for enabling and disabling Chamfer/fillet to edit paths pane
l
This would add or remove LPE on to selected stroke.
1. select shape
2. press icon it would add LPE Fillet/Chamfer
3. also open LPE panel
4. you can add Fillet/Chamfer
5. if you want to disable Fillet/Chamfer you would click the icon again and it would delete LPE from the shape
Why:
- Would make the feature more discoverable

My ideas:
- **corners**
- corner tool
- round corners
- bevel
- bevel corners
## 4 Add ability to edit multiple radiuses at once On Canvas UI **[DONE]**

1. select nodes you want to add a fillet
2. drag radius controller
3. all nodes will change to the same fillet and radius (according to settings in UI in % or units)
how it works in motion:
How it should look:
## 5 New on canvas UI handels
After running into some UX problems with on canvas UI. Mainly that cornre hnades itersect with geometry knots.
@jabiertxof and I come up with few new design solutions:
#### 1. Triangles
#### 2. Triangles with a small offset from nodes (for easier shifting of the position of nodes)
#### 3. Triangles rotate 90 degrees
#### 4. Offset circle
## 6 Hide on canvas UI until selected or Hower
For cleaner look hide knots that you are not editing
## 7 show helpers and hide some on canvas UI while changing radius (HOLDING and DRAGGING)/ knot
for cleaner look and UX few options:
