Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Can't delete unwanted vertexes
during modeling I've created two, overlapping vertices on top of one another. When I try to delete them, I get the following message in the command preview:
// Warning: Some selected vertices have complex edge attachment; Delete Edge/Vertex removes selected vertices and related edges //
But, they do not delete; I've also tried to delete them by right clicking in the channel box, but they stay.
Anyone able to help?
thanks,
g

I suggest going in and removeing the faces on either sdie of the geometry, but it does sound like you have kinda opened a can of worms.

Eye that might sort it.Originally posted by R@nSiD
DO a cleanup operation on the geometry. If you are not getting to delete some of the veryts it usually indicates a problem with the edgeds connectiong.

You might also have a normal in the wrong direction so id give it a go checking the normals.
As Chris said it can be a pain to get it sorted.
Sometimes the script editor makes its own scripts that help you out, you might need to open the script editor to see the full text.

I think I'd misused the split polygon tool and created some bad geometry.
I'm having some more issues though, and I've got a new thread called "Co-ordinates in Maya issue". If you could help there it would be great.
cheers,
