why does it say illegal new face?

[Stroker]

Probably because you verts are lined up *too* straight. If you have 3 verts on a straight line, chances are you won't be making a face from them.

well they are in the in the shape of a triangle

i am trying to patch up a hole on my model

[chudofsinister]

try going in the other direction. to create the polygon that is.

[gaggle]

Could it be that there already is a poly where you're making your new one? It's just facing the other way?..

Happens to me from time to time at any rate, and it always confuses and infuriates me up until I realise, doh, the polygon is already there :)

Check if you´ve got only 3 verts there. Maybe there are more laying over each other.

If no then collapse your model to editable mesh, fill your holes vith polys and turn back to editable poly;)

Works well for me...
