Hi everyone,
I'm on the second vid in the strat tut,creating polys by selecting 4 points and hitting 'p',so far so good - then I need to use the bandsaw to divide the polys.The first section (top left ) works fine but the right side I get a problem with 2 polys (out of 6 total) not dividing.In the statistics panel the 2 polys appear to be listed separately as ' >4 vertices - 2 ' whereas all the other polys are listed simply as ' 4 vertices - 205 '.
Can anyone kindly explain the significance of the '> ' in front of the poly listing please? Am I doing something wrong here?I tried deleting them and creating again by selecting points and hitting 'p' but kept getting the same result!
Assistance gratefully appreciated !
