Hi all, i'm currently going through the "Photorealistic Car" tutorials and am currently on lesson 43 which gets you to make the door handle. If first gets you to make the door handle "well" by increasing the number of vertices using the Finer option, then scaling and moving some of them to get this result.

However when I do the same thing, I get this,

On closer inspection of the verices in the video, all the newley created ones have automatically created a line between them (left of picture) where as mine have not (right of picture)

Can anyone tell me how to create a line/curve (not sure of correctterm) between my new vertices, or is there an option I should be making sure is turned on which will do it automatically for me?

Have you tried pulling those vertices in the middle? That line might be hidden there. You can "undo" the pull when you get that line or edge.
From what I can see of your screenshot, the subdivs haven't been smoothed. Press 3 to do that. Let us know how it goes.
