Max's quad chamfer versus Maya Poly bevel.

I messed around with the settings but I can't get it to work in maya. Any tips or tricks?
I will be doing alot of hardsurface in maya. Do you guys use poly-bevels or creases?

If you're going to be doing a lot of hard surface in Maya you should get yourself a copy of crease+. There's a thread about it here on PC.

Just so you know how to do this, since Crease+ isn't something you'll always want to use. You can select that ring of faces and bevel (click a face, then shift double click an adjacent face). Another nice thing to know is converting faces to border edges (ctrl+rmb north > to edge perimiter). I typically use that to get quick edge selections across something like that n-gon at the top, since you can't double click to get a loop.
