Hi Berube, that's just how Blend is designed to work, it tries to make one smooth surface if possible, treating a tangent series of input edges as if it were one long continuous curve.

I don't think you'd be able to put a chamfer through that area you show anyway since you can only chamfer sharp edges, you can't put a chamfer in a spot where surfaces are smooth where they touch each other.
