Hi

Working in maya 7.01

Im having trouble attaching the jaw to the dogs head. I have already attached the the legs and tale to the body with no problem.

After combining the jaw and head. I've tried the 3 attatching methods: Merge Edge Tool, Merge Multiple Edges Tool and Merge Vertices.

1_Geometry before I start

The 2 Merge Edge tool options don't seem to work properly at all, see attached 2 - 3.2

2_Merge Multiple edges

3.1_Merge Edges
3.2_Merge Edges (I cant select a 2nd edge on the jaw)

4_Merged Vertices... seems to work OK until you look where its been attached there is a thick line which normally indicates an edge. Is this correct?

I have a feeling there is somthing wrong with this geometry as these operations work ok with simple surfaces

5_Merge Edges Thick Line
Also is there any way to view "thick lines that indicate the edge on surfaces" with out slecting the merge edge tool?

Any help would be appriciated

Cheers
