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.

Missing polygons

I'm working on the Jedi Starfighter model tutorial and I've just noticed some strange polygon action going on. I flipped the model to SubD mode to see how the corners were holding up and discovered some missing polygons underneath the "wing".

How do I 'rebuild' these missing polygons while attaching them to the existing ones? See the attached JPEG. Thanks in advance.

Use the 'split polygon tool'. Looks like it shouldn't be too bad, because it seems like you can just snap to the vertices.

Thanks, Xander-0. I got most of it filled in, but couldn't get the rest. So, I went back to the previously saved version and modeled back to the present. I saved myself a lot of pain by saving multiple versions.
