	GetLidPosition
Get the position for a plane that will fill the top of the bezel at the highest point of the curve.
- HANDLE	Return

	FitOutsideBase
Resize and move the bezel so that it fits around a given target object. The bezel is fitted around the 'base' of the target - i.e. the face of the object's bounding box with the lowest Z-value.
- HANDLE	Target
The object to fit the bezel around
- VOID	Return

	FitInsideBase
Resize and move the bezel so that it fits a given target object. The bezel is fitted within the 'base' of the target - i.e. the face of the object's bounding box with the lowest Z-value.
- HANDLE	Target
The object to fit the bezel around
- VOID	Return

	GetFillPosition
Returns the dimensions and position of a plane area that will fill the frame at its base. The returned position handle could be use, for example, to fit a text box or image within the frame.
- HANDLE	Return

	SetColor
A quick way changing the border color without re-calculating the geometry. NB) Does not change the start-up color set using the Properties pane.
- BYTE	Red
Amount of red in the color. (0...255)
- BYTE	Green
Amount of green in the color. (0...255)
- BYTE	Blue
Amount of blue in the color. (0...255)
- VOID	Return

Property reference

	Properties
	Appearance
	Thickness
Sets the thickness of the bezel - radius and depth will change proportionally.
	Margin
This property is used when fitting the bezel to another object using the 'Quick Resize' properties or 'Fit' macros. It sets the distance between the bezel and the fitted object.
	Color
Color of the bezel.
	Quick Resize
	Fit Outside
Select an object from this drop down to fit the bezel around the outside of the object's base. Note that this is a 'momentary operation', the bezel will not follow subsequent changes to the target object.
	Fit Inside
Select an object from this drop down to fit the bezel withinf the object's base. Note that this is a 'momentary operation', the bezel will not follow subsequent changes to the target object.
