Hey, I'm just learning right now from scratch from your videos, but incase you didn't know, you can bevel the outside AND the inside in one operation. Under the D menu, while the cut is tabbed with a basic bevel applied, click the drop down ">" next to "main bevel" then select "bevel both ends" and "bevel back face" (located just to the right of the "main bevel" title in any order). Finally, click the “double arrow” “flip” option next to the 2nd bevel title to make the outer bevel appear. 2nd bevel now controls the outside and main bevel controls both interior bevels. If you keep clicking those two options in weird combinations you can get some really wacky bevels, for instance you can bevel the inside of the outside edge (think the cutter is a generic cube beveled on all edges). Anyways thanks for teaching me so far!

Another option with the array is to hold alt and move one booleans to the other side then roll the mouse to create a perfectly spaced amount between the two booleans. But I'm finding if you do not add a sub surf with at min 32 sub D and apply it before hand it is warping and other craziness w/ the mesh around the booleans after it's applied after smoothing the mesh. Auto smooth seems to not have this problem.

I am not able to get G to do anything while holding Ctrl to enable snapping dots. I am testing on Blender 4.0. There appears to be hotkeys assigned by blender to Ctrl+G, for collection grouping, but even disabling those does not work. Is there an option I missed to be able to access the grid like that without explicitly turning it on/off in the top bar?

So I think this is a conflict with Machine Tools, so you would want to turn off the grouping option in there.

Hi, I am a great fan of your teaching style it's helped me alot. I have found a glitch with the Grid section of the video and wondered if you could repeat it. I have the cube and I am able to take one cube away from every face. If I try to use the same technique to do a second on any face it doesn't extrude correctly and leaves the shape of the extrude with a grey face. I tried applying all previous boolean cuts and trying again but I get the same result. Any ideas? Thanks I tried it with a rectangle and it allowed 3 cuts on the long face and then the same issue occured. Even after applying the numerous booleans it wouldn't allow any more.

If you're talking the armour and using hard surface techniques I would really recommend Boxcutter and Hardops (there is a link in this video description).

@ArtisansofVaul
9 ай бұрын
Edit in what way? Generally the standard of editing the object that it creates as a cutter. This becomes really easy if you have HardOps as well (I always suggest getting them together ad the bundle is cheaper) as you can press Q then everscroll to scroll through the cutters acting on an object. Otherwise you can just find the cutter in the object outliner, boxcutter should have made a seperate collection called "cutters" they will be in.
