In the outliner, my two-part sphere mesh remains full of separate polygons

Anonymous — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 15:06:20 GMT

Hi, I've been attempting a tutorial many times, and one problem I have is following when the author extracts part of their sphere to create two meshes. In their outliner, their meshes remain as two poly surfaces, whereas mine become hundreds of seperate polygon pieces.

I have no idea why this is so, when I've followed the tute quite closely.

Any feedback would be most appreciated.

Select the sphere, before you do whichever operation you perform, and do this:

1. EDIT, DELETE BY TYPE, HISTORY

2. MODIFY, FREEZE TRANSFORMATIONS

Hope this helps!
