Couple of problems with Edit Poly modifier (I think)

Anonymous — Tue, 16 May 2017 00:29:12 GMT

Hi all, my first post here! 🙂

So I've been following along with this tutorial, and all has been going reasonably well, but I've run into a couple of issues relating to the Edit Poly modifier. I'm using the modifier on shapes I've made from selecting the inside edges of the "pavement"/"sidewalk"s, and clicking "Create Shape From Selection".

Circled in red in my image, is an area that has vertices, but using Edit Poly hasn't given me a polygon there, when I think it should have! My second issue, circled in blue (in both perspectives) is that all of the polygons I created with Edit Poly are apprearing just fine in the perspective view, but in any view (like the top view) with High-Quality (shading? Not sure what the right word is) selected, they're really black and really flickery. Is there something wrong going on there too?

Any help would be appreciated, and I can upload the file if that would help.

Fixed the problem with the hole (red circle). BEFORE putting the Edit Poly modifier on, I welded all the vertices together with a higher threshold (0.64m rather than 0.1m or whatever it was before. That got the polys created afterwards with the modifier. Does that mean that the problem was the vertices were too bunched up, or at funny angles, and not automatically joining? It'd be nice if I knew enough to avoid that problem in the future 🙂

Flasy black squares with high quality view persists though 😞

(Also sorry for double post, didn't see any rules against that, but it's a bit silly I know!)
