Modeling Issues

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to work on a 3D model for a print and when I try and do something like move, smooth, or subdivide the mesh I get something like this. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or ways to resolve the problem I would greatly appreciate the help.

Hi Nathan, it looks like this mesh is not meant to be smoothed, it's a topology issue...got any wireframe to share?

Here's a wire frame view. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Thanks , yeah triangulated meshes are not meant to be smoothed and usually meshes need edge loops to hold the hard edges during smoothing , also mesh has to be clean.
You can try to quadrangulate the mesh but I thing the result will still be bad , you might need to retopo for better results.
