Hi, so when beveling the groves here (image link) the bottom edges of the grooves skew when I do the bevel. What might I have done wrong? Cheers
Hey ccvalley_art
Have you tried the usual suspects?
Double vertices - To remove doubles, In edit mode select everything with A, then press M and merge by distance.
Flipped Normals - To recalculate Normals, In edit mode select everything with A, then press SHIFT+N
Hey thanks, I have merged by distance, and mostly work with normals view on, for peace of mind as I work, plus I like the blue.
Apply the scale, that I forgot to try; I'll test now....
>looks like the apply all transform did even them out, but the line of extrudes drops downward, or towards screen right of the reference photo
as seen here, the bevel is now even, but it moves outward instead of in place with the rest of the groove inset,
*** Correction-- so this image was just a normal bevel, and not the mean bevel weight modifier, when I tried now with mean bevel weight it still warped the same as in my first screenshot, the apply transform didn't help at all. And again, all the verts are merged/ tested by this point. Curious.
no biggie, but thanks for the offer, from what I can tell the issue is within the modifier, I had do keep the clamp setting on at some point, where the video has it off. I forgot the reason I turned it on but when I take it off the shapes break quite badly, all over the object. Anyways, no worries, I'll finish it and may try that part over another time
If it breaks when you disable clamp overlap, you either have double vertices or the scale is incorrect.
Try merge by distance again, then increase the distance in the adjust last operation panel, little by little, but not too high.
The scale in the sidebar should be 1.000 in the X, Y and Z channels.
