[Maya] Chamfer Vertex Keeping Interior Vert

zachagreg

So I am trying to model some knurling as I learn Maya again. I've noticed a distinction between what I have seen as the functionality of chamfer vertex. When I chamfer my vertex this occurs.

What I am expecting to happen is this...

I cannot seem to find a setting anywhere about this behavior. I have already reset the tool as well as my general navigation tools. I've tried unlocking the other parameters and editing them and no luck.

Maybe that's an older version of maya, I don't recall. If you check the history, Maya also deletes the vertex you chamfered, you can delete that history node to get it back. Or use the mel polyExtrudeVertex directly and set the width there.

Both versions shown are Maya 2020, odd enough it was fixed when I opened Maya in the morning however if this occurs again I will definitely try those options thank you @throttlekitty. do you happen to know what would be appearing in the history if that vert wasnt deleted?

I don't know, there's no option to tick for deleting the vertex, so I can't get it to chamfer one without maya deleting the original one for me.

Must've been a fluke then. If I ever replicate it I'll post what I did on here and on the Autodesk forums. It's quite strange most likely a bug in 2020. Since there is no information on this happening whatsoever
