weld vertex?

#1

read through the manual but…if there’s no weld how do you weld these …

tried dissolving / collapsing faces, edges, points but ends up all funky

thanx

#2

actually the problem is more complicated…

somehow i ended up with this face (it’s one single face) … the one on the outside of the model is the same face extracted so you can see it better …

so, it won’t let me delete it …any tips??

[edit]

so went in and dissolved nearby faces and then connected remaining verts…worked, but a simple weld verts or delete faces would have been nice

oh well, day one with this … i’ll figure it out , :slight_smile:

#3

see if this helps any?

#4

okay …that makes sense in a round-a-bout way

i appreciate it much,… and will keep this in mind for my next SNAFU:)

Yes it is a pretty quaint illustration, but I think it gets the point across… was rushing to get it done before leaving work.

Also, could try:

Select both verts
Connect
Collapse new edge

or

Select ‘diamond’ face
Inset (anything, even 0%)
Collapse new face
Remove unwanted edges
Object | cleanup etc

I like the Select,Connect and Collapse but I first select the cretaed edge,go to Tweak mode and roughly bring one of them close then I collapse the edge which somehow mimics the ‘Target Weld’ found in some sofwtares,very good to keep the shape intact.

<< mimics the >>

You could also mess around with Scale (to a point)

Select both verts
Stap - choose a suitable target
Drag both points to 5-10% (say)

then as previous post
