In xsi it seems you can have overlapping edges that share the same 2 vertices to create the edge. What if you don't want this?

For example.. Make a cube and grid. merge the cube and grid. then try welding edges and then smoothing the object. You get a hole where overlapping edges occur.

In maya you can't have overlapping edges that share the same 2 vertices trying to create it results in a unified edge. (at least it seems that way)

nonmanifold geometry?

If you select the overlapping points, does it show 2 points? Try selecting all those points that are on top of each other and Modify/Polymesh/FilterPoints.

Yeah two points.

Heres a file.

I don't think you could weld the edge in this case, it will create non-manifold polygon.

It can share same vertices, but it will not be merge edge, the edge from the grid still treated as boundary edge.

I guess maya subds can still do stuff that xsi's can't. :shrug:

SDS routines are basically the same across all packages. The problem here is not the SDS but the bad geometry. The solution is to not make geometry like this.
