Help with chamfer function

Anonymous — Wed, 23 Aug 2017 15:09:09 GMT

Hello,

For a course, I need to create a wardrobe with rounded inner top. The first steps work :

- I create a box

- I transform it to become a poly

- I switch to edge mode to select edges to create more connection point with ring and connect in order to create a polygon inside one of the faces.

- I go to polygon mode to use extrude in order to compact the face of the cube to the bottom. I make attention to not create z-fighting.

- And there, I'm stuck.

- I have the impression that I need to add vertex at the inner top center so I will be able to move it and create inside an angle. Afterwards, to create the angle, I move the vertex on the Z axis.

- Now, I try to use the chamfer function in edge mod to round the triangle to create a rounded top. But it become a horror of impossible form.

Can you help me ? Point to me my error ? Or a vid ? Or a tutorial ?

Thanks

The linen closet should look like that :

Check out the screencast I made. I did the whole thing because I couldn't quite comprehend what you were trying to imply when you made the post.
