set smooth problem

When i click on the set smooth button, my model produces black streaks that I don’t know how to get rid of, is there a way to get rid of this.thanks

enter edit mode
select all the verts
control+n [recalc normals]

use the search first please

although this isn’t the easiest thing to find with searching, searching for all the terms “set smooth black” will have the answer on the fist page. This question is also asked pretty frequently

Sometimes that method doesn’t work, especially if you have been creating faces and had the wrong verts selected. It can be a pain to track those down.

when you join the verts creating faces and forgot to delete fthe face beetwen those
i suck @english so here the ascii art
