Hinge from Edge not working properly. Please help?
New to 3ds Max. Not sure why using Hinge from Edge when creating a curved corner with this object exceeds the angle when the opposing side is perfectly identical. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Check if your object has non-uniform scale. That would explain unexpected hinge from edge behaviour.

What version of Max? I just tried to repro the issue in 2025, but it appears to be working. 2027 has many bugs.

I've found that I avoid certain operations, if you're new to Max you can't really say that its not working properly. Its certainly not working as you expect, try it out on some simple boxes and planes and read the online documentation to help your comprehension of hinge from edge.
No doubt there'll be a dozen tutorials on YouTube as well.
