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.

It sounds like the normals to me,

go back in the history to before you combined the poly objects, select one of the parts and reverse the normals (in maya 8 Normals have a menu of their own, in previous versions they are under the edit poly menu). Now when you combine the parts and merge the verts you shouldn't have any problems.

Take it easy,

Mat.

Hi, Thanks for the help.
I actually didnt have to undo. I just selected the faces w/ the normals that
where facing up and shift selected reverse normals on those faces.

thanks again
