The bevel modifier does nothing when I change the mean bevel weight. What should I try?
Hi Ann aawehrman ,
Most likely a matter of disabling the Clamp Overlap in the Bevel Modifier:
Depending on your model, you might also have some so-called 'double Vertices' ( Select all with A and then M > Merge > By Distance), that are causing problems.
Keep in mind the scale of the model influences the bevel amount. So you may have to apply the scale if you haven't already. Think about as 1 meter of bevel on a 1 meter model is doable, but if you have a 1 meter amount of bevel on a 5 cm model, the bevel is going to blow it up.
Thanks everyone. I've done the apply scale, I've disabled Clamp Overlap, merged and now I think I just have to start over.
