Using 3ds Max 2015 on Windows 7 Pro.

sorry i don't have access to a higher version so i cannot view your model, if you have delete the end of your model go into the borders of the sub-object and then click on cap this will cap the end of your model

Hi,

 

First you need to weld your vertices, since now your model is made of

4 elements, so go to Vertex subobject level, select all vertices, click on the square

setting button next to the Weld button and use a very low value like 0.001 and click Ok,

Now go to Border subobject level, use CTRL + A to select all borders(= two borders),

Right click and choose Cap. You can also find the Cap button on the Edit Borders rollout.

Thank you.  I couldn't figure out how to tie the vertices together.... it worked perfectly.

Thanks again for all your help.
