I was working on the soccer ball tutorial and when I came to the step the bevel the black material parts and activated the bevel tool, it doesnt seem to work at all. The handles are there but dont seem to move. also, on the video it the viewport had some sort of grid or meter graph, how do you activate it. I put some notes on the pic for further ref. If I change the tool to smooth shift, it work and if I choose one of the black materials, as opposed to choosing all of them the beve too seems to work. I dont know if I am missing something here, but hopefully someone can help.
Problem with bevel tool
Sounds like you’re trying to bevel from “Material” select mode… look at the 4 selection modes at the top of the screen and see if “Material” is highlighted, if it is hold down the alt key and select the polygon select, that will convert the selection to polygons and you can do a polygon bevel at that point
