Beveling & Alt + S issue

Question

Im not sure what the issue is but 11:20-13:22 when adding a line segment and beveling around the body with Option(alt) + S I get messed up parts. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for the help

Well Patrick,

You definitely have inconsistent Normals; ALT+S Scales along the Normals and part is going 'inward" and part 'outward'...

You know what to do: A, (and you might as well remove possible doubles at this point: M > Merge > By Distance...) SHIFT+N.

That might already be enough...

@martinbergwerf Ok gotcha. That's weird because I thought for sure I had done that when he was talking about the side being faced in the wrong direction and eventually brought up the hotkey Shift+N around 9:20 or so.

Press Start is not super beginner friendly, there's a lot of concepts going on, it's always a good idea to start with the fundamentals if you ever feel a bit annoyed or frustrated and then after a while come back to Press Start.
