is it possible you have some vertices there?

Extra edges?Extra verts?

You converted a poly mesh to sub-d.. so since the Sub-d tries to smooth things out if the vertices in the middle of the "problem" area is notint he same plane as the ones around it I think the sub-d will add extra faces there to account for the curvature.

Unless you don't want subtle curvature I don't see this as a problem or error.

But then again that way the point down is kind of odd..

thx, i looked over the vertices and faces again, but it seemed like there is everthing ok there, so no double things ...

hmm, i just wondered why it looks so weird, but it seems that i cant get rid of it ...

thx for the replies :buttrock:

just go to vertex mode, select the whole thing with a selection box and press delete, that will delete any stray vertices.

Also keep your headsup display with poly count and such enable so then when you marquee select then you can actually see how many verts,edges,faces are there.But you probrably already knew that.
