Have you ever pressed Ctrl + B to bevel your edges in Blender and ended up with edges looking like twisted spaghetti? Frustrating, isn’t it?
Fortunately, there’s an incredibly simple trick to fix this annoying overlap issue and get perfectly clean bevels every single time.
Step 1: Select Your Edges
- Select the edges you want to bevel.
Step 2: Bevel the Edges
- Press Ctrl + B to activate the bevel tool.
Step 3: Clamp to Avoid Overlap
- Immediately hit C to clamp the bevel and prevent any overlapping geometry.
That’s it! No more spaghetti edges—just crisp, clean bevels every time.
Why Does This Work?
When bevelling edges, Blender sometimes struggles with overlapping geometry, especially in tight spaces or sharp angles. Pressing C after initiating a bevel ensures Blender automatically clamps and adjusts the bevel width, preventing messy geometry and overlapping vertices.
