Seems I’m stuck in the Freeze Subdivision Level (FSL) mode, despite retaining all subdivision levels (i.e., dropping to the lowest division). And once I click on FSL the mesh becomes mangled at all division levels. All I want to do is retain the levels I have, while removing FSL. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome
It seem that you have subdivided the model after freezing subdivisions. A possible solution is to go to the maximum subdivision level and then do a polymesh3d. You have lost now the frozen subdivisions and now you can reconstruct subdivisions. You probably will get an identical object without the frozen subdivision.
Apologies for getting back to you so late. I followed your solution - partially - by using polymesh3d, but at the lowest level, then using Dynamic Subdiv, and dividing the mesh into four subsequent levels. Regardless your solution for using polymesh3d in order to get out of the Freeze Subdivision mode worked out perfectly. Thank you!
