Sharp edge problem

Anonymous — Thu, 02 Feb 2017 20:35:46 GMT

When trying to smooth preview my object has a sharp and very unnatural edge. There is no crease and no hard edge. Why is this happening?

Please help me resolve this issue.

Hi,

Do you have your normals on that edge set to harden?

Could you supply the file or some screenshots please.

Thanks.

No I do not. The problem usually occur when i bridge two edges. I have provided a screenshot down below.

Cool thanks,

Well that looks like there's a vert on top of another. Try selecting all those verts and slecting merge, make sure the threshold is really small. Like 0.001.

Oh and also check your face normals. One face could be flipped

I believe your problem might be that the normals for the faces flipped. Try reversing the normals on the faces the edge joined.
