Tearing faces?

Moltar

Can someone help me out here?

I can't seem to fix this face, any idea how I might be able to sort this out?

you can fix this problem by holding the Alt key when you hit print screen.

I didn't mean the screen shot, I meant the tear on the faces of my model in 3dsmax. look at the small button, there is a huge tear running up either side of the face I extruded it from.

But thank you, I didn't know that alt+prtscn captures the image on your primary screen.

Boolean can sometimes cause similar problems. Try removing turbosmooth then converting your mesh to Editable Mesh and then back to Editable Poly.

Or there's an issue with the modelling, can you post a shot without the turbosmooth? Is the bolt thing actually connected to the main mesh? There's no reason why it can't be a seperate element snapped to the surface. It will keep your geometry simple, helping to avoid problems like this.

Note to side track, but there's actually a really cool tool included with windows (for a while now), called the 'snipping tool'. It will take a full screenshot, an open window, or a rectangle selection. It also has a 'highlight' feature.

here are few better images that I hope will show the issue better. I'm still confused about this...

I created the geometry by chamfering 1 of the vertices's with 4 lines connected to it, then dragged the result to the top of the geometry it's fixed to. The same was done with other geometry but without issue.

You need some kind of support there, also don't just drag that thing up.
