Bevel not working right

Yeah I will in a few, Pretty much when I hit Ctrl b to bevel, it’s doing the edges, but making them sharp and not round like in your video. So if I were to bevel and click off, my corners are pointy. Give me a little bit and I’ll send a screenshot.

Hi product346!

I can’t see your .blend (access denied), but from your Screenshot i’d say that your Normals are not consistent.

A bevel (with one segment) is created by making a plane, perpendicular to the Normal. An Edge bevel makes it perpendicular to the Edge’s Normal. An Edge Normal is calculated as the ‘middle’ (angle-wise) of the Normals of the two adjacent Faces.

Here is what I think happened in your case:

There are three very important shortcuts, that you should use all the time:

SHIFT+N to recalculate your Normals (in Edit Mode with everything selected).

ALT+M > Merge by Distance (to remove double vertices).

And last but not least: CTRL+S to save your file!

BTW. here’s another thing that can happen when your Normals are messed up (that’s why this is called abnormal behavior..).

You didn’t only have messed up Normals, but also double vertices:

Look at the number of Verts (bottom right). That should be16 (4 at each corner, it is only one ‘Cube’).

Select all and ALT+M, this will remove 40 Vertices and leave you with this:

Now use SHIFT+N to recalcluate the Normals (because they are not all blue) and you’re good to go. Bevel away:

Nevermind, got it. Thank you so much for the help.
