Help with C4D

Okay, on the attached dwg. I need to remove one of the lines,edges to make a larger polygon as seen in the second dwg. Can someone tell me how I can do that. Just starting with this app.

TIA

as far as I know you can't delete a line between two polygons, however you can simplyfy -> in one of the menus - your object, which will remove unnecessary lines and reduce the number of polygons.

Maybe this will help.

You can delete the middle row of points and bridge them back together again.But as for the larger poly all the others have to follow suit in that row or you will have 5 sided polys or pentagrams which C4D does not like at all and smoothes the mesh very nastily.Chances are your tute is for an app with N gons which do allow 5 sides etc http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

You can do this but I am not sure if it messes up your tute or not.


Stu.

what's the purpose to remove one single edge? What do you want to achieve with it?

Doesn't make sense to me...

Thanks all for your replies. This tut I am working on is for C4D, modelling a car. I have gone back and resarted from the beginning and corrected a problem i had.

Jens, I did not want to have to do this but I screwed up somewhere in the tut, and just wondered if it was possible.

Thanks again

hey hey Fossman, looking forward to viewing the vehicle...

and yea, good stuff as per usual Stu... dem ngons will really jump out at ya when smoothing for sure... though depending, if ya have four of em things will/should http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif work ok next smooth eh... but yea, not with one or two...

btw Fossman, have you tried out the new Amapi Designer 7 yet... I am just curious... really durn curious http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

No on the Amapi7 front. No time. By the way, I thought our Canucks had it last night, wrong again. Bummer! And I had them picked in my pool to go all the way.

and yea, I completely understand re-C4D and time for learning one...

hey, looking forward to viewing some cool C4D worx there fossman http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

have a good one eh.
