Edit poly chamfer edge problem

[Gorion]

Hi everyone!!!

 

When I chamfer an edge of a edit poly appears a polygon in the hole.

I get solve it breaking the vertex and removing the vertex which are incorrect connected, but is a very hard task and takes a lot of time.

 

Anyone knows how can I avoid this problem from the begining??????

 

Thanks!!!!!!

After chamfering you could try selecting all polys then click on retriangulate. That might fix it.

Hi!

 

I've tried to do it, but It doesn't work. The problem continues.

 

Thanks for your interest!!!!!!

It's the flow of your edges that is the problem, you need to continue the edge you want to chamfer in a way that will allow the chamfer to work correctly, in this case, I continued the edge over the top to create a loop, and then chamfered.

Hi Dean!!!!

 

I've tried to do what you have suggested, and this is the result.

If I don't remove the edges connected to the edge above, the chamfer is straight, not curve. I'm using 3ds Max 2011.

 

Thanks for your reply!!!!

Try and copy exactly what I have done, you have to chamfer the loop (all the connecting edges) to make it work. If you see the 2 shot on my example you can see the edges I have selected before I chamfer. Also note that the loop doesn't connect to the top left corner of my object, but instead loops over the top.

 

I hope that makes sense! :-)

Oooooooooooookay!!!!!!!

 

Thank you Dean!!!!!!!!!!

Now I know what I did wrongly.

I only selected the edge to chamfer, not the other two edges that make the loop.

Thank you man, you're the best!!!!!!!!
