Hi
I am trying to add bevel on a hole of a flat capped tube but the surface looks very odd. Does anyone have any suggestion of how to do better when using polybevel?

any help will be highly appreciated!

Personally I'd just build that whole shape including the bevel from a set of rings xformed and skinned together, you'll get much better control over the final distribution of polys.

Using the Cookie SOP will not result in clean geometry, I wouldn't expect a bevel to work right in this situation. If you were to take the tube and extrude the edges inwards, and then extrude another smaller tube for the inside, the PolyBevel SOP would perform as expected.

Cheers!

Hi DaJuice,
Instead of using cookies, I still got problem with the “extrude sop”. Does anyone know what I had been doing wrong?

please help!

Take a look at the basis sop.

do you mean the bridge sop?

Your problem is that you have some inline points in your model when you trim the curve AFTER converting to polygons.
Check the points in the display options and you will see,

Now before you convert to polygons, you could help this problem to disappear with the basis sop(Not completely).

Append an Edge Cusp sop and forget about the basis sop.
See the results.

Regards.
