Just an FYI after I copied the Bevel Modifier to the Speakers from the Console I could not get the Bevel Weight to work (at 4:09 on video). After toying around and even restarting the exercise from the beginning I was still stumped but finally got it to work after going into Object Mode on the Speakers and pressing Ctrl+A and 'Apply All Transforms' then going back into edit mode it worked. Just in case anyone else gets frustrated. ;) In the end we ended up deleting the face anyways to add holes for the speakers, so it is kind of a moot point, but I didn't want anyone else pulling their hair out like I did so I decided to post this work around.
(***UPDATE: DO NOT USE 'Apply All Transforms'!
Use Ctrl+A and go to 'Apply Scale' instead!***)
Hi Mike,
Never do that (Applying All Transforms) again! (You got lucky here, because your model was not Rotated or Translated.)
The rules for Meshes are:
Always (and this is very important) Apply the Scale.
Don't Apply the Rotation, unless you absolutely have to.
And never Apply the Location.
You might eventually run into a situation, where you may break one of those rules, but that is pretty rare.
The Force must have been with me. In a universe of multiple options and ways to fix the same problem in Blender due to its amazing versatility, I spun in a circle with my eyes closed and landed my finger on a button that just-so-happened to work. Being new to Blender is literally like being given one of those Do-It-Yourself Chemistry Kits you had when you were a kid. You can do a lot of cool stuff, but you can also blow up your house. Training is important, and knowing the right techniques will save you from a lot of headaches in the future. Thank you to Martin and Omar for cautioning and providing guidance. I am sure I will manage to break something eventually and look forward to our future communiques.
