Edge not deleting...

[Anonymous]

I have several edges that will not delete. There are no faces connected, so the edges are suspended in space. I can select any number of edges but when I press delete they just deselect. I don't have more then one line occupying the space, nothing is hidden, and restarting maya hasn't helped. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Maya 2012 64 bit

Win 7

8 GB ram

i7 2.2GHz CPU

Hi pineapplecartoon,

Typically, that behavior is indicative of several vertices overlapping each other; it usually occurs when deleting an edge using a method other than Edit Mesh > Delete Edge/Vertex) ... AFAIR, pre-Maya 2014 didn't have this menu option.

Try switching to Vertex (Vertices) mode and going to each end of the edge and merging the vertices (Edit Mesh > Merge).  You may need to repeat this process if several edges converge to the same area. 

Hope that helps,

I've had this happen, and believe it was related to a miss-click with the modeling toolkit.  turns out, buried within the edges was an actual polygon.  I had to tear apart the model to locate on the edges.
