Hey everyone

Running into a last min. problem :banghead: . I have half a cockpit shape. All the normals are pointing in the right direction and all the verts are merged but when I mirror the object and combine it both half’s dissipater. I tried exporting the half object and then opening a new scene and importing the shape and then trying the process over again. I even restarted maya and then winblows. This makes NO SENSE! Its looking like Maya is slowly turning into windows. A unreliable piece of software. :cry: please someone help! its 3am E.T. and I have a 9 AM class!

what process are you using to mirror the object?

did u export the object as an .OBJ file? or .MB?

did u delete history?

have you been incrementally saving?

im sure someone here can help you, but i think more specific information is needed.....

yes the history has been deleted. Yes I have been saving along the way. I'm using the Duplicate option under "Edit". Using -1 in the X box to mirror the object. And no I haven't exported it as a object file. Going to try it now. Thanks for that tip!:wavey:
