Ms3d problem creating faces

t1010011

I’m using v. 1.8.5 beta1 of MilkShape, with the cmp importer v2.7,
i want to close holes in the ship hull as I deleted some fins of the original fl models. But as I select 3 vertices and press " f " to create a new face it gives me the following message “please select exactly 3 vertices” But i’m pretty sure I selected exactly 3 vertices…

What am I missing?

very likely you also selected the 3 other vertices on the other side of the object (just an idea)

Nope…. unless you mean inside the model in the same position? (but why on hell they would be there…) I more than double checked the entire model for any scattered vertex i might have selected by mistake… the wire frame 3d box by no angle i have more than 3 red dots…

also happens in other models that i have done the same…

The importer loads in an unwelded mesh, this means you could have 2 or more vertices in the one location. Select all faces (Ctrl + A) then weld (Ctrl + W) the mesh, this will merge all vertices occupying the same location.

That’s it, thanks Bejaymac! Solves the problem.
