Hey all, i have this editable poly object here, when i try to clone selected polys to create a new object, half of every poly disappears. I'm sure this is a simple problem, and i think i may have fixed it before, but i have a notoriously bad memory ;)

Here's the offending object in question:

Try to collapse the object, I usually rightclick and use the quadmenu. Does that help at all?

Gaggle: nope :)

oddly enough it goes away after meshsmooth is applied. I'd really like to know what's happening though.

As in the previously-missing polygons reappears when Meshsmooth is applied?

Well, i only see the missing polys if i render the base mesh, and it looks fine when i render with meshsmooth on, but still, a bit annoying :) Also, when i tried converting to Editable mesh, it looked like that image in the viewport. Odd..
