Hi XSI pros,

You know when you know what to do and it won't work? That is even more
frustrating than being stuck because you don't know what to do.

I am modelling character, all poly meshes. Build with a number of primitives
which have been scaled and translated and so forth to fit the proportions
needed. So let's say I need to attach an arm to the torso. There is a slight
gap between the two. I am trying to do so with Blend and Merge. Nothing of
it works, I wonder if it is the tolerance (I have tried with everything from
insanely high to almost non-existing)? I have also tried deleting the polys,
that would end up being inside the new mesh. I heard somewhere that merge or
blend need openings to work with. Nothing works.

Please help!

I guess the last way out is a boolean, but I'd rather not. This is such a
fundamental modelling operation. If this was Max it would have been over and
done with in less than 2 parsec.

Please help!

Marque
