Repair message

[Walter Baker]

Greetings all,

 

Well I have a new situation and not sure how to fix it (if it can be) without having to start all over again.

I had modeled 1/2 of my ladies dress and then was going to COPY/FLIP/ATTACH but (not paying attention of course) I hit SNAP TO MIRRORED POINTS which at some point later looked right. So now my main seem down the middle won't move, when I HIDE her to just see the dress you see what i get. Close the model and reopen I get this Repair message and haven't got a clue.

 

Any ideas folks????

You may have good success opening a new model and copy/pasting your current model into that new model.

This should automatically renumber the CPs and remove all repetition.

Thanks for the fast answer Rodney, I tried to copy/paste and that just made more of a mess, half of the CPs did not show up , splines missing.

so then I just deleted half of the dress and did the COPY/FLIP/ATTACH again and that worked. So in a way it did help.

 

Over the years I have learned that I tend to over complicate a problem when the simplest solution is usually the right one, (or fix)

Thanks

check to see if you still are in mirror mode.....I know when selecting splines in that mode sometimes you get the results that you are describing

I know this is an old post but another way to fix this is buy selecting all control points, copying them, open a new modeling window and pasting them there. You will lose whatever groups you had, and have to redo all the 5 point patches but the base model will still be intact.
