I watched it before but no, not really. I want to bevel one single edge only.

Do you have a screenshot of what you're hoping to achieve with a single beveled edge?

You can isolate an area with the selection brush before using the bevel. You'll need at least three edges with target: edgeloop partial on so that only the middle edge will get beveled. The two ends will be turned into triangles; this will be unavoidable as otherwise it will create n-gons.

I want to bevel only a single edge. What i do now is , i slice the corner that i want to bevel with silce curve brush 45 degree. Then i delete unneccesary polys and cap the border.

That's the kind of operation that can't be done in a single action with Z-Modeler due to how it would create n-gons. You would have to resort to workarounds; either how you've done it, or by using ZModeler to delete the top and bottom faces, bevel the now-opened edge, and then use the close action to re-cap the shape.

@cryrid probably the best way is deleting and recaping. Beveling in zbrush a bit finiky. But i generally like zbrush hard surface approach
