Gaps
I am experiencing problems with Maya. Basically I was creating a wine bottle but came across a problem when modelling the mouth of the bottle. I just selected the bottle, clicked on the extrude tool and changed thickness of the bottle. But the problem being is that now I have gaps between edges. I attached the file as well so you can see what I mean as I am not sure how to explain it properly. Its driving me crazy AS I have spent a great deal of time trying to figure it out. Please help

There must be a split near the base, I can't think of any other reason the outside would do that and not the inside.

That's weird, it's only the outside faces that did that, if keep faces wasn't selected the back side would be separate from the rest of the mesh too. Fastest way to fix is merge them for now. I would goto the base and make sure it was solid when you first extruded.

Ozgalis thanks for your kind help. I am fairly new at Maya and I am sorry if this sounds really stupid but how can I make sure it is solid when first extruded? I guess thats my problem here that as soon as I start extruding the edges up from the original cylinder, It just starts splitting slightly (but i had to zoom in and look very closely). So you were right about this. Not sure how to fix it though. Any ideas? Thank you very much

I just did a quick search on google for an example if you have trouble.
