# Maya Geometry Tools

Tools for creating and modifying 3D geometry inside Maya.

## Tools

### `maya_geometry__create_sphere`
Create a UV sphere with configurable radius and subdivisions.

### `maya_geometry__bevel_edges`
Apply a bevel operation to currently selected polygon edges.

## Prerequisites

- Autodesk Maya 2022 or later
- Python interpreter accessible from Maya's script editor

## Notes

All scripts use Maya's Python API (`import maya.cmds as mc`). They must be
run inside a Maya process — either directly or via the DeferredExecutor bridge.
