Noob Modeling Problem

[Anonymous]

Can someone here please help me.. im working on modeling a rifle and ive gotten pretty far and things are going well, im trying to do a simple extrude and then chamfer to a plane / box, and it keeps screwing up my mesh, not sure why i can not get this to work.. i made a little video showing whats going on.

Hi,

1- In the Chamfer dialog choose Quad Chamfer from the chamfer type drop down list

2- Increase the edge segments as much as you like

3- Reduce the Edge Tension to give your chamfer a rounded look

This is a method I often use which works in a number of scenarios where various tools give unwanted results and that's to simply:

1. delete the problematic faces
2. execute the tool
3. re-add the faces
