Hey guys ive tried 2 times to model this car and everything is goin great and smooth untill it comes time to extract the door from the front fender. I click on the 4 edges and extract once and pull out and it just goes crazy take a look at the picture to see. I have no clue what is going on. I undid it and merged all the vertices to itself to make sure i didnt have faces in the lines which i made special care to avoid on my second time of completely doing this project from the start and yet it happens again. im starting to wonder if its just my computer which makes no sence becuase im now using an upgraded graphics card second time through. the weird thing is if i pull them out 1 by 1 they go out straight and as one face or edge. and if i pull the bottom 2 out at the same time its fine, if i pull the top two out at the same time its fine. but when i try to two middle ones the same problem occours. im not sure if u guys will be able to help me without pictures it won't let me upload more than 50? :( thnx for your help.

so i was messing around and i noticed that when ur extruding u have the usual which way do u want to extrude and then theirs the blue ball well i pushed that and it started to work. it extruded the way it should
but if i extrude and i don't push the little blue ball to relocate the move tool its all messed up. i guess my problem is solved but should that still happen?

yeah, this is actually a normal behavior. if you click the blue "ball", you'll switch to "world axis". If you click again, you're again in "local" mode.

look in the manual for further information, because my english sux ^

in the video they extrude faces to do the front bumper... and it become an other plan... selectable
but when I extrude faces it just... extrude and if I try to select it.. it will select the whole front fender...
