Poly Reduce Wont Work. Simple situation. Why Not?

[jrouse]

I have modelled a car all in Maya, no imports, all polygons. 560 Quads. Polygon Reduce just doesnt work at all. The object has no history in case that affected it. Triangulate, and smooth both work. Very bizare. Reduce works on other objects in the scene, like a square. Thanks for anyone who tries this one. I'll give the file to anyone who wants to stab at it... I'm really confused on this one. -Thanks, John

Try creating a cube and them combining it with your object and delete history. Then delete the faces that made up the cube. Sometimes meshes end up in a funky state in Maya and doing a combine like this forces Maya to rebuild the mesh.

That sounded like a good idea but that didnt work either... thanks tho.
