i have a hole in my mesh that i created by deleting a polygon, now i want to make a new one. I am in edit poly, so i go to polygon and click "create" i create it. BUT i looks discolored. and there are edges in it. Somtimes, i can get rid of that by selecting the polygon and cnverting it to edit poly but somtimes i cant. Is there another way?
I'm modeling a car right now... and i have a whole in it, i tried going into "border" sub object and selecting the hole and clicking loop, but it gives me the same effect. Help!!

If you want to create a polygon, you need to click the vertexes in a counter-clockwise manner to create a polygon with it's face towards the camera,
if you click the vertexes in a clockwise manner you create a polygon with it's face away from the camera.
Oh, and you have te be in the polygon subobject mode
