Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
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.

Polygons to Subdiv
When I try to convert my poly mesh to a subdiv, I get an error: "Command polyToSubdiv failed. Open Script Editor for details."
Then I go to the Script Editor:
// Error: polyToSubdiv1 (Poly To Subdiv Node): The conversion to a subdivision surface failed:
// This polygon contains an interior vertex connected by less than 3 edges.
// To fix the problem, either remove the edge with the interior vertex, or subdivide the polygon so that the interior vertex has at least 3 edges.
// The indices of the vertices in question are: 532. //
// Error: Command polyToSubdiv failed. Open Script Editor for details. //
Can anyone help me? Why does this happens and how can this be solved?
Thank you,
Sepraud

also if that doesnt fix it ..hit spacebar and pick verticle faces ...see if you see mroe than one on top ..shown if you look careful another line at the edge of one ..just delete it and add it back by append poly . That is one way to add back .
if not post a picture or file ...
also if you convert to subd and it errors out ..do you have in the options box of convertion set to high enough amount ?

The default is 1000. If you open the script editor and read the lines it will tell you what number to enter, just round it up and it should convert ok. But do as mmoore has suggested also.

thats not true, you get a much different error for that.Originally posted by R@nSiD
Your error is due to the amount in the Poly to SubD option box.

it is in poly now.
also it is very important to have clean lines. that helps a bunch when attaching parts together and also just to have a good clean model. I can show better later if you want and it helps with troubleshooting. i would take look at my file. it was done really quick but i tried ot show how lines was suppose to flow and look ..see how with yours there is not a deep edge between the leg and body ? that is what needed to be cleaned cause was not attached correctly .
