i introduced a sphere ,scaled to right about the right size but then i am unable to bridge them for some reason as it keeps returning an error message.
also strangely enough i am unable to put both of them in object/edit mode at once . i have to select both the seperate objects in object mode
and then go to edit mode.
even if i then click on the edges then choose bridge loops from F3 , it again returns an error message.
please help !
attaching the screen shots
The problem is that you can’t bridge edge loops that don’t belong to the same mesh-data.
If you join the two objects together with CTRL-J it should fix your issue.
how do i introduce new shapes and maintain them under the same mesh data ?
and also , at what stage do i use CTRL+J ? i mean what do i have to first do to then use ctrl+j ?
If you want to add a new shape to a mesh, you do it in edit mode. Sorry about not being clear, just select the objects you want to join and then press CTRL+j. That should merge the two meshes into one.
it worked ! thanks !
but then in object mode its not possible to move the sphere seperately since both of them get selected even if i only click on one of the 2 objects ?
choosing the same meshdata when introducing more number of shapes within the same model/scene is always favourable ?
You only have one object now, but it has two islands. To select an island, press L while your mouse cursor is over the island.
No, But if you need to join any of the verts, I think it’s the only way.
ok…and finally what if i wish to undo the bridge loop without using “ctrl+z” . is there anyway ?
You can select the face loop and delete the faces.
If you want to make part of the mesh into its own object, you can press P after selecting the part you want to be its own object.
Make a copy using shift d. Or save the object in a different file. Do not think too much about it. What or how to do these types of re-use, will be much clearer after more lessons.
