Well , I was modeling a human figure, using extrudes for arms and legs.
Now the problem is, that while modeling the hand, I turned the "Keep Faces Together" option off since I wanted the fingers to be separate.
Then I totally forgot about it (DUMB!) and I went on and built the legs.
Only when I tried to smooth the model later did I realise that the Keep Faces Together option was still off, and I should've turned it on before working on the legs.
Well, I went to the history and clicked onthe polyExtrude node and toggled the option off. BUT as shown in the example in the picture, all the transformations and tweaks done to the model went totally berserk.

SO, the question is, is there another way to keep these faces together without having to toggle that option?
