Tutorial 2.1 - Examples of bad welding.
Posted: Sun Mar 05, 2006 9:59 pm
The last two images (call them images of a crown and potato) in tutorial 2.1 show the bottom of a crown removed with the delete edge tool, and the end points welded to the potato. The crown is filled with yellow at the end.
How is that done? When I weld the points, the crown is not a closed shape. When I select the edge of the crown with the Create Shape tool, it only selects the edge that was originally part of the crown; the edge that is now "shared" with the potato is not selected. If I shift-select the shared edge, then everything is selected, but the crown is still not a closed shape, and cannot be filled.
