LogInA free custom vertex normal editing tool that allows you to automatically (or manually) set the vertex normals of a given face to be perpendicular to its face normal.
Unlike AMT’s take on this solution, this tool requires the history of a bevel in order to work. The tool either uses a pre-existing bevel node in your history as a reference or creates a new bevel for you to be able to control it.
Once the tool does it’s magic, you can simply start dragging the middle mouse button left or right in order to adjust the bevel width of your mesh, which is pretty neat!
