Why Cant I Merge The Vertices

[daan]

Hello and thank you for viewing this, I'm trying to create a head in maya. I started out in polygons then moved over to subdivisions. I then created half the head. I went to subdivsions mirror, then attach but it doesnt attach. It thinks it attaches but there is still a gap between both surfaces. I tried manually going over to polygon mode and merging the vertices but same thing, it thinks it merges and even says so in the command feedback, but it doesnt merge them like it should. Please help.
thanks

Make sure You have polygonal SHAPE (not transform) selected when doing POLY mirror. If polygonal sides merge, then subDiv should merge too.. If last does not, then it means it has lost its history and better should be deleted and re-created from merged polyshape.

Another way you could merge your Geo, is to convert from subD->Poly, then merge edges instead of vertices. Try this without using the mirror polygon tool.
