I am working on a model and i just converted it into subiv. However in between swtiching back and forth between subdiv and polys my model got seriously messed up. It seems like my subdiv and my polys are stuck together in the same model. Every single vertex has two points and verticies will not merge. when i try to convert the model to subdivs it wont completely convert any more either. So in poly mode the model still has more than one vertex where its only supposed to be one.

These vertexes were not ther before i converted to polys. I am lost. Please help. Tell me my model is not lost!

Here are some pics

1) When u convert from NURBS to Poly, use "Control Points"

this lets poly vertices to be where NURBS CV's are. (the hulls in NURBS will be the Poly edges aye?)

2) When converting Poly to Sub-D, turn "Keep original" OFF.

so there is no copy of it.

3) When converting back form Sub-D to Poly, set method to "Vertices".

that lets the Vertices of Poly to be exactly the way it was before.

----------
i think what you did was,

change it to Sub-D, with "keep original on".. then changed to Poly not using "Vertices"...

thus, having insane mush of poly vertices.
--------

i hope this helps

Can you upload or send me your scene file. Like to see if I can find the problem, but it's hard to do without having the model in front of me.

Also, as you had three dups, take this as a lesson learned. The duplicate feature uses whatever the most recent settings were, it does not automatically revert. So you may have created more copies than you thought because of previous duplicate options. This is one I learned the hard way. I've since put the dupilcate options on my custom shelf, and use that instead of CTRL + D. so that I know what my dup settings are each time.

its because u have 2 shape nodes in 1 transform node. opend the hypergraph and delete one of the poly or subivToPoly shape nodes.
