modeling hang-up

[lazz]

So...I've been modeling a new character. But I started to work on the foot, and I completed a little more than half of it. But for some reason there is an area which is protruding from it, that always ends at 0,0 on the grid; no matter where I put the rest of the foot. This happened to me before and I was able to fix it. But this time, the "thing" has no CP's or splines or anything. I don't know how it got there, but it just won't go away. Its totally brought my work to a screeching halt. If Someone could solve this mystery I would appreciate it very much. Thanks!

I've circled the part of the "thing" at 0,0 in red.

It sounds like a bad hook. Sometimes if you can locate the bad hook, you can delete it and try to hook it somewhere else, or hook it just one spline past where you had hooked it, to get rid of the problem.

i had something like that happen once after I substituted a larger bitmap for a smaller one in an "environmental" material.

 

It looked like a pointy spike sticking out of my model. But only in shaded mode... wire frame looked ok!

 

I'm not saying that was the cause of it, but i could only fix the problem by manually deleting all the materials from the project file in a text editor.
