Safe Ngon is an interesting tool for re-position the edges position of your ngon-based mesh.

This is an experimental tool. 

1.  You select some ngon faces, then run the tool

2. It will re-position your ngon's "sharp edge" to the middle of long edge. 

It has some benefits, for example you can bevel it easier, and has lesser strange shading.


Original:  bevel + smooth shading

Safe Ngon : bevel + smooth shading
