MergeVisibleQuestion

Am I mistaken or weren’t we able to merge subtools and retain division levels as long as the tools both had the same levels??

I just made a sphere and cylinder polymesh 3d on both, divided each to 4 levels, put them both on the highest level (4) and hit the merge visible button.

I get no subdivisions. Am I dreaming or didn’t this used to save subdivisions???

Help!!!

Thanks - Mike

OK, so I opened the soldier guy and merged his body and his shirt at 3 subD levels and they retained their subdivisions!!!

In the same file I create a poly3d sphere and poly 3d cylinder and divided them to 3 subdivisions and merged.

No retention of subdivision levels!!!

I don’t get it!

Sorry to keep replying to myself but I am very confused. I have a model with about 20 subtools. I went through some pieces and tried merging. I was careful to be sure that when I merged the pieces had the same subD levels.

Some kept subD levels, some didn’t. This is not good!!!

Is there some geometry consideration??? This won’t work! How can I count on being able to combine and retain subD levels if it is this hit and miss??

Just asking…
