Hi guys, I'm just starting to learn the basics of Houdini and I thought I'd start with the Quickstart tutorial on the SideFX website. I am following the steps exactly trying to build a Greek column from a cube. There is a bunch of edges that get a relative polyBevel and then some more edges after that get an absolute polyBevel.
Now here's where the problem happens, when I try to increase the repetitions of the second polyBevel I get corner edges extending right through the entire model and sticking out the opposite side like spikes. See attached images.
I have watched the steps in the tutorial several time and tried to replicate the steps, but each time I get the spikey edges.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening and is it something I'm doing wrong?

Hey circusmonkey, I opened the file you sent me and it looks similar to the cube I was working on. Why does that spikey corner thing happen? I'm used to using Maya and bevels are no problem in Maya what-so-ever.
I followed the tutorial to a T and kept getting the weird corner spikes. If I knew what the problem was I could probably avoid it in the future.
