dont understand this tutorial part

[Marcel]

Can't you turn on the 3d snap and drag the middle vertex to one of the outer vertices and then weld/collapse them?
With the 3d snap on the vertices will 'snap' exactly onto eachother when moving.

the problem is not welding the vertex(i can hit the vertex i want fine)
the problem is when i Do wel it with an outer one instead of having a polygn without any vertex´s inside i get one with a big "cut" inside...but anyway i´ll try it one more time with 3d snap

anyway, thanx...

any more help will be apreciated

I guess you could delete the 4 edges coming out from the vertex instead. Selecting them and pressing backspace should work.

Good luck dude.

thanx

nah i dont think so. it seems that face wasnt deleted in the tutorial. Any more ideas?

[Marcel]

Post some screenshots of the problem, I have no clue what the exact problem is :)

Strange, that was the way I solved it when I tried out the tutorial. The welding part just didn't make any sense too me. :shrug:

[FabioMSilva]

u mean i should delete it? it doesnt make any sense to me too welding this but he says "weld" :wip:

i think this is one of the most perfect tutorials out there, but its problem is "one of the worstly translated" as well :shame:

[Marcel]

I think might I have the answer to your problem. If you read closely he says "weld target" not "weld". The weld target function works like this: you select a vertex, when drag it onto a second vertex it will weld it.
Try it out, you might have to set the 'pixels' slider a bit higher to get it to work.

If it's more usefull than just moving the vertex and welding the vertex l? I dunno...

Pressing backspace while an edge is selected won't delete the face. Allthough it could be a Max 5.0 feature.

Try Marcels way though, since it's the way that' described in the tut.

lol! I wasnt using weld selected Vertexes, i was using the "weld target function"

ok here´s the link of Where i am on the tutorial (this images are from my own Job) maybe u can see on them somethin i didnt and then help me in where im failing at

Aaahh, but that is not a vertex, it is an edge that is supposed to be there.

Maybe this is the solution then:

In edge mode, select that naughty edge and press the 'invisible' button (under the rollout surface properties). That will make the edge invisible. It will still be there, you just won't be able to see it (and the tools will react differently to it in some occasions).

The other way around is also possible, if you select a hidden edge you can make it visible by pressing the 'visible' button.

Is your problem finally solved? :)

[FabioMSilva]

Guess it is...gonna try it to be sure

than Marcel

thanks all people!
