well, why do you have border-edges in the middle of your mesh at all?! maybe, you forgot to merge some vertices in there?

If you have tried selecting the vertexs and welding them and it still doesnt work then try and look to see if the adjacent face normals are different. If the normals are different it wont let you weld.

Just a thought.

If you have border edges in the mesh the hard/soft normals can't help you get rid of them, if this is what you want the tool to do.

So yeah, the only way to get rid of this when you soften normals is to weld the border edges...

hi there,

i did not know that there are problems when u have border edges.

i have welded all the vertices but no luck

i have also got rid of all the soft edges but no luck

can some one help me!

Try Polygons -> Cleanup, with Non-Manifold geometry switched on and all Remove Geometry options selected. If you've got non-manifold geometry in there (easy to do without even knowing), you'll never be able to weld those edges and vertices. Try welding and smoothing again after the Cleanup.

Wabo.

I'll hazard the guess that some of the normals on your faces are reversed which prevents you from truly stitching any edges together ...
