C4D geometry breaking apart

[Tim Shetz]

Which version of C4D are you using and I’m assuming you mean that you, for example, just create a cube and then hit the C key to make it editable and it is in pieces?

[George Masters]

Yes I’m using C4D 10. I am working with cylinders, but yes I hit c then grab the point tool and try to move a joining point, but it will only pull one joining edge, not the other. Does that make sense?

Thank you,

George

[Tim Shetz]

so using the point tool, it should be moving 1 or more points…the edge tool should move one or more edges, depending on what you have selected.

Or am I misunderstanding?

Please take a look at this pic:

I’m expecting what happened to the cube to be happening to the cylinder.

Thanks for your help.

The ends of the cylinder are actually caps, so they are separate from the tubular geometry.

When you create a new primitive cylinder, there is a caps option.

[George Masters]

I see. Thanks again!

If you select the converted cylinder and run Functions>Optimize, it will weld the caps automatically.
