PERFECT Alignment
Hi all!
I've just recently joined the wonderful worl... errrr... universe of 3d modeling and am very much a novice. I've taken the time to learn the basics and am working on small-scale things such as simple houses and stacks of boxes. I've discovered a small problem, though... I can't seem to perfectly align objects. I use Quickgrid and Gridsnap together and they look perfectly aligned in the orth views, but in 3d view and Inspect Mode, you can clearly see where the edges meet: I thought for a moment that this was simply the way AC3D rendered the objects on the screen, perhaps to show the user the extents of individual objects. However, even when exported and, in my case, imported into a game, the "seams" are still visible in the model. What's the deal? Last edited by Breems; 8th May 2012 at 01:25 AM. |

Re: PERFECT Alignment
That's a face .
Select the 4 verts in vert mode, then switch to surface mode and press delete, that should fix it. FYI, this won't be seen in a game or a render (at least not the game I'm modeling for.), but it's cleaner and less recourse hogging to remove all unnecessary polygons. |

Of course it is.

Well, it actually was showing up in the game (which is why I wanted it removed), but keep in mind I'm modding an ancient game here. |

Selecting the 4 verts and switching to surface mode is the easiest option along with selecting all in surface mode and deselecting everything but what you want to remove . |
