I apply subdivision modifier both cylinder and mesh (watch), I boolean the cylinder on my mesh (watch) after that remove unwanted vertexes then bevel it, everything is fine except the four sides of hole kind of stretched, it's hard to see in solid mood but still there I'm using blender 2.9. I really appreciate if someone help me.

Also ruined the shade.

In solid mode, it's hard to see the area where been stretched.

  • $\begingroup$ did you have a reason to apply the Subdivision Surface modifier? You could do this with much less vertices $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ In the first place I did make it with low vertices without applying the SSM on any objects, as expected, it worked perfectly fine, but when I apply the SSM in my main object which is watch, It's starting the main problem, everything messed up even I added bevel. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ you need to make sure that the topology is good, which is not the case here, see some tutos about how to make holes in sphere or cylinder for example. Also, you don't need to apply the modifiers if you have no reason to, keeping the modifiers allows you to have lighter objects and to rework them easily $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I really thankful for your response guys, it gives me an idea, I used my previous file within is low vertices and instead of boolean modifier I used shrinkwrap modifier and I make sure my topology are in properly and it work here my link here my link .1drv.ms/f/s!ApiOe8e0EXz05Xza8mqMz0SXG2mo $\endgroup$

Your topology is probably not good, here is how you could do your object:

  • Create a 32 vertex cylinder and a 16 vertex cylinder:

enter image description here

  • Boolean:

enter image description here

  • Rework the topology:

enter image description here

  • Give it a Subdivision Surface modifier, add edge loops to sharp the edges:

Only apply the Subdivision Surface modifier if necessary, don't if you don't need to.

The reason this is messing up your shading is because Blender does not like the topology of your mesh. Blender favors Quad based topology. When you have a shape that has more then four vertices, it is called an Ngon; And lets just say blender does not like Ngons.

In order to fix this, I'm afraid there's a lot of work in it for you. there are a few ways to do this, but none of them are easy. The way that I recommend is manually changing all your Ngons into squares. To do this, first you need to go into edit mode, and find any edges on the inside loop that are not connected to an outside edge (see example picture below) enter image description here so just to be clear incase that didn't make sense, you want to keep the edges that are circled in the picture below: enter image description here and get rid of the edges that are circled in the picture below. enter image description here To start, you have to find all the outside vertices, and make cuts in them so the edges also go down into the inner loop. (see example below) enter image description here Make sure to do this with all the outside vertices, not just the ones I showed in the picture.

Next, you will need to go into edge select, select one of the edges that are not connected to an outside vertex, and press "G" twice on your keyboard. then drag the edge loop to the closest edge that is connected to an outside vertex. do this with all of the edges around the inside loop. (see image below) enter image description here I'm not going to do this to everything because as I said at the beginning, it can be time consuming.

When you have finished with that, the final step in order to get unwanted topology, go into vertex select, press "A" on your keyboard to select every thing. Then right click, go to "Merge" and click on "By distance". This gets rid of all vertices that are overlapping each other.

when this is done your topology will look a lot nicer and it will hopefully fix your shading.

I hop this helped! : )
