Scaling ledge not scaling roof with it

[MrFlobe]

Hi,

I am editing my lighthouse as demonstrated in the video and when I try to scale the ledge underneath the roof it is only scaling that ledge and the roof is not scaling with it as shown in the video. Why is this?

Thanks

• In edit mode you can select the parts (vertices) you want to move, then press gz, grap and move on the z-ax.
• Do you have double faces? In edit mode, select all vertices and do m for merge by distance.
• Is your object scale 1,1,1. Apply object scale by ctrl a → apply scale

If I had to guess, it is because you had overlapping vertices between the roof and the ledge (This can happen when you press e to extrude then right click to cancel.).

You could fix it by alt-left-clicking the ring at the base of your roof, then pressing g g to activate edge-slide to move the vertices to the outer ring. After that is done, press a to select everything, then press m b to merge by distance.

Thanks for the replies!

merging by distance worked.
