Chamfer/Turbosmooth issue

Anonymous

H. I'm trying to follow a tutorial from Chamferzone and I've ran into an issue. I've had the same issue with a similar part of the model where extrude and inset was involved. I fixed the issue the first time by deleting the part, following the exact same steps and doing the exact same thing I did first time around, but the issue didn't occur after the remodel.

This time I'd like to properly fix the issue, if possible, instead of redoing the model. It's not exactly time efficient to re-do a bunch a whole model because of two edges that won't behave. I've tried a bunch of solutions from this forum and YouTube, including, editing normals, weights, smoothing, welding edges and verts.03.jpg

 The corners in the tutorial gets chamfered because he has different smoothing groups on the bottom and side-faces and set the chamfer modifier to unsmoothed edges. However, this doesn't happen to my model. I have no idea why. Nevermind the missing slope, I just redid the entire top part to see if that would fix it.

The only thing that "works" is deleting the bottom face.

A thing to note: I'm working in a different 3DSM version than CZ, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it, since I used 2018 when the issue first popped up. I've attached the file. Go wild.

I hecking fixed it. It was the minimum angle setting in the chamfer modifier. Turning it off or setting the angle to 0 fixed it. 

He may or may not have addressed this earlier in the tutorial, I'm not sure. I recently picked it back up after a break.

Hey, just popping in to say thank you for helping yourself! I'm switching over to max from maya and was having the exact problem after watching the same tutorials. It seemed my chamfers weren't being applied to all the hard edges/smoothing groups, but turning that min angle off fixed it.
