Well I think I am coming along on something. In this pic, you can see the problem with the lines. I previously had used the split polygon tool on the dogs backside and then it wouldnt work anymore, so I tried deleting the previous ones. Look at the right pane...when I deleted a line...it appeared to still be there. I had to delete about 8 - 10 stacked lines....what the heck happend??? lol. Anyway, I think that this may have PART of the problem. I tried to redraw the lines after deleting them and I CANT. This thing is running mega-slow now, and I must have done something last night as I fell asleep on the keyboard lol...seriously..I am new to all this, I am really mainly into hardware and programming and some php and webdesign too. I figured since I am an amature photographer and a seasoned artist, that I could use some of my creativity. I hope to get this problem resolved so I can continue, besides...this is a great learning experience. Thanks all.
