Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

It's rounding because it needs support edges

Aye, what Clocker1 said, just add a few edge loops around, might be faster to select the edges and then apply a bevel to it.
