huh won't let me edit the vertex's

[jimbob]

this is weird

coz i was following mad mxman's tutorial and then i saved it.
And then i came bk the next day to finish it but now i can't edit the vertex's of my model!!! :shocked:

what do i do????
plz i wanna finish my model!

EDIT: and i am using 3ds max

But when i try to edit a vertex it just drags and makes a box

 

[ShadyD]

go to modifier tab (the bleu bended pipe) click on edit poly (or mesh) than it should turn yellow and have vertex edit mode automaticly selected

 

[jimbob]

yeah i fixed it
thanks

But how do i add vertex's and edges to my model?

 

[ShadyD]

to add edges > go to edge mode (an empty trianlge button)
select 2 edges, rigth click > connect
a new edge should be created
im pretty sure madaxman described this method in his tut

 

[jimbob]

did he???

i don't know, i didn't see it! lol :laff:

Anyway thanks

EDIT: its not working, how do i do it with vertex's???

 

[ShadyD]

vertices= multiple vertex lol, creating a vertex is simple, when ur in vertex mode click on create (in the edit geometry) and click where u want to create it.
there is also an less effective way of creating edges
go into edge mode > edit geometry: cut , than click one edge to start cutting and click on another to cut the edge in half
hope that makes sense

 

[jimbob]

right ok

thanks
i will try it 2moz

Uhm, seems to me that your "VERY" new to modeling.

You are having lots of problems and get stuck it seems... I suggest reading a basic tutorial or somthing...

www.onnovanbraam.com has some nice ones.

I almost thought you were another victim of the dreaded vertex bandit.

There are lots of tutorials that help you with the programs. Some on this site seem more helpful than many others. Good luck with modeling.
