Detailing knobs and dials video

RE: Creating the diamond pattern knob detail on the first knob, I've followed the tutorial up to the point where the mean bevel weight is adjusted to 0.4 after insetting the faces and forming the diamond shape contours,(approx 12:00 mins) but the bevel weight adjustmnent isn't producing the same shape definition as in the tutorial and I don't know why? I've played around with different weight settings but the result is still as before the weight was adjusted. I'm using Blender v.5

    HI  aaww167 ,

    You might need to add some screenshots, but it could be something as simple as 'double Vertices', as the Clamp Overlap is enabled. 

    If changing the Bevel Weight has no effect, it is usually because of the Clamp Overlap doing its job.

    Yeah some screenshots would be useful. Your result versus Ewa's. Even better if it's a short video seeing your workflow, so we can spot where the error might be. It could also be as simple as applying the scale I believe.

    Thanks to both Martin and Omar for your replies - very much appreciated. Oddly, when adding the same detail to further knobs it worked fine, so possibly I missed something  earlier. I also discovered that when creating the knobs, it's necessary to apply the scale transform first otherwise the inset faces vary in size and shape in each row.

    Yes, it is very important to apply the scale often. It can cause a lot of problems.
