Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

I think it's because the poly face is twisted and the new vert that you're adding in the middle of the face will try to find middle ground between the upper and lower edges but will not pull the face into shape until you've hit enter. If you use x-ray you should be able to see what you're doing.
Take it easy,

i have looked over and over to see what is wrong. I dont know any other way to get a smooth version to see what dragon looks like so far ...it is in polys ..
here is the error i get in the script editor
select -r polySurface2 ;
deleteInternalValence2Verts |polySurface2|polySurfaceShape5;
polyToSubdiv -ap 0 -ch off -aut on -maxPolyCount 1000 -maxEdgesPerVert 32 |polySurface2|polySurfaceShape5;
// Warning: Nothing is selected. Select objects or components to delete. //
// Error: polyToSubdiv1 (Poly To Subdiv Node): The conversion to a subdivision surface failed.
// One or more duplicated edges were present.
// Repair the duplicate edges by selecting the polygon
// and issuing the following command, then try again:
select .e[378] ;string $v[] = `polyListComponentConversion -fe -tv`;select $v;polySplitVertex;polyMergeVertex -d 0.0 -tx 1; //
// Error: Command polyToSubdiv failed. Open Script Editor for details.
i dont see any duplicated edges or vertics issues... i can post my file so far ..i want to find out where the problem is ..any help appreciated or if anyone knows how to see what you have so far so i know what to pull out or push in let me know ..thanks
