Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Somehow I duplicated my vertex
So I am trying to make my own little robot and I am working on the foot pads. I am modeling with polygons then converting to SubDs and adjusting then convert back to polys to make more additions or adjustments. Sort like the cartoon dog tut. Well some home I duplicated all my vertex. So when I move a vertex it moves but seems "empty" and makes no adjustments to my geometry. So I tried to merge these extra vertex and they wouldn't merge, no error just didn't merge. So I tried to delete and got some weird looking effects on my model. It looked like two surfaces were so close and one was partially showing through the other. So I grabbed all the vertex and pulled it off to the side and it pulled a duplicate of my model right out. I felt like a magician lol. But I can't delete the copy it deletes the original. When making any modifications or moving it does the action to both. Same with deleting. Anyone have a suggestion to get rid of this "copy" or what I did to create it? Sorta slowing down my creation process. Thanks
edit:: I tried to ungroup it thinking maybe I dupped and grouped, I got error saying "ungroup;
// Error: Can't ungroup leaf-level transforms //"
Now I am really confused lol.

this happens when the shape node of subD is active and u convert to poly,
this often happens if u convert back to poly right after converting to subD, since maya automatically makes the shape node active.

its a toggle for going back and forth from poly to subD in one click.
put this on your shelf or assign it a hot key.
