Hello It's time for another one of my embarassing questions!.. My edge merging doesnt seem to be working properly (or at least its not working how i thought it would). i am attempting to merge 2 sides of a poly head. the sides of the head are alike and very near one another. When i use the merge edge tool, i click on one border edge and, to my dismay, i wont allow me to select a correponding border edge on the other side of the head even though its very close. The only edges that highlight as selectable for the second edge are the border edges on the same side of the head... what am i doing wrong here? i even tried ot, as a test, on 2 square ployies in side view right next to eachother... it wouldnt work for me.
:sad:
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

use 'Polygons/Combine' into one object first
that is, unless its already one object :surprised

lol! Quite often I run into a similar problem: I combine but forget to flip the normals (object was scaled -x). Then I'm wondering "why won't it merge edges?!" :p :rolleyes:
