[Maya 2015] Modeling Toolkit Bevel Broken

AdvisableRobin

So, I've recently been having a problem with the modeling toolkit's interactive bevel tool. Not very good at explaining things so here is a GIF

As you can imagine this is aneurysm inducing and I haven't been able to find anything about it on the webz. Creating a fresh scene fixes it, but thats a bother to keep doing that.

Are you talking about the lag when you move the mouse vs. what is shown on screen? I see you have other meshes in the scene. Does one of them have a ton of history that can be deleted?

AdvisableRobin

Sorry, I guess I should explain. The bevel tool doesn't stay at the set distance, it snaps back to a smaller value.

is preserve UVs turned on?

AdvisableRobin

Negative, preserve is not turned on.

The reset tool button doesn't do anything for you? I've never experienced this.

AdvisableRobin

Tried that already, I'm pretty stumped.

Count Vertsalot

Your mouse button isn't sticking is it? The gif you posted seem to have the bevel follow where your mouse pointer is positioned. Does it happen in any other tool? Try extruding.

AdvisableRobin

Nope, its exclusively a bevel problem.

Serial Lens

I've seen this happen when measurement units in Maya are set to something other than centimeters. Maybe that could be it?

Happens to me too on my laptop. Not sure what the deal is...tempted to reinstall and see if that solves it. Do you have any of the service packs installed?

AdvisableRobin

Well how about that Serial Lens, changing it back to centimeters fixed it. Thanks a ton!
