polygon to subdiv

im still working on the model a person tut from here and i keep running into problems. when i select it. i and try to convert it gives me the error. and i have tried a mesh cleanup and it still does not work. thx for the help

polyToSubdiv -ap 0 -ch off -aut on -maxPolyCount 1000 -maxEdgesPerVert 32 |polySurface6|polySurfaceShape12;
// Error: polyToSubdiv1 (Poly To Subdiv Node): One or more edges is nonmanifold.
// Nonmanifold geometry cannot be converted to a subdivision surface.
// To clean up nonmanifold edges, use Mesh->Cleanup with the nonmanifold option. //
// Error: Command polyToSubdiv failed. Open Script Editor for details. //

Just do what the SE tells you to do! Go to Mesh>Cleanup and make sure that the nonmanifold option is checked.

well im using maya 8.5 PLE. i would like to get the full one but it cost a lot and im only 14 haha. The cleanup did work though. i'll post the file anyway just to see if u find anything else wrong with it. Also,when i convert to SubDiv it turns black and in the tutorial yours was gray. I hope i did everything right. download it here https://rapidshare.com/files/40251498/Franky.mp.html
