Maya8 Poly to subD

[Kronos_22]

Hello,
I am going thru the tutorial again because I just updated to maya 8 and I want to get the basics down before I move on.

I am modeling the jetbike and I am currently on the modeling 2 disk. I have duplicated the first half and joined edges and verticies with no problems. Now when I convert poly's to SubD's I get edges that pull apart and half of the front shield is gone. I have made sure the tool is reset and I went ahead and ajusted the tool to see if that would fix it. With no luck.

Thanks
Paul

P.S. I have screen shots if you want to see.

hi

Seems some vertices are not merged.
To fix this, take your poly mesh and merge every vertex, or if you want you could use the clean up tool.
An other solution is to take the bonus tool for maya and use merge vertices by distance.

one tip:

go to Display/ heads up display/ poly count

every time you select your vertices on the poly mesh, this tool will show you how many vertex are selected.

hope this helps
