Question

3D

Hello Khabrovites!

I'm trying to complete this lesson: https://youtu.be/lc7SekTh8XE?t=2m59s

Why, when I want to connect 4 vertices, I press F so that the result is:


But I get this result:
- I selected the vertices and pressed F, I get:


- Why do they connect in the opposite direction? It is necessary that the 4 vertices of the two cylinders are connected to each other.
Help me please.

Answer 1

In this case, the cylinders are two different meshes.
In order for them to be connected to each other, you need to combine them into one mesh.
Select two meshes (right click or left click (depending on settings)) with SHIFT and press CTRL+J. Then in edit mode you can connect vertices between them)
