HELP: Merging Edges

[gmask]

The normals on the two combined poly surfaces have to point in the same direction

[Flash FROG]

How do I make it so that the normals on the wing and the normals on the body are facing in the same direction?

It is usually easier to do this before combining because you can just select the offending meshes and then use the invert normals command under the poly edit menu. Otherwise you willhave to select all the offending faces and invert them. You can view the normals with the display polygon components normals menu under display menu.
