Connecting/Deleting Edges
Hello friendly people!
I’m a big C4D noob, thus here’s a noob question! As you can see in the image attached, I’m trying to get rid of those intersecting lines that can be seen on the top of the object(s) – they are obviously also on the bottom. I tried searching the interwebs on how to connect/delete/weld/ stitch and sew/optimize/melt and pretty much came up with nothing or just made an even bigger mess.
Clearly, I am not doing something right! I’m just trying to get those polygons on the top (and bottom) to become one seamless polygon – ‘Connect’ does make it one object but the seams still show up.
I tried everything in my limited C4D knowledge and I only post as a last resort so…help?
Thanks in advance!

The lines are being created by Sketch and Toon because the polygons are on the exact same plane and it doesn’t know which lines you want to hide/show. In this case I would edit one of the extruded splines so the two objects don’t intersect.

Hi Adam,
Thanks for the reply! I did manage to edit the polygons of the objects but I am now at another stand still.
What i did was Use the knife tool to create pieces of polygons I could delete. Deleting that top part of the ‘T’ would leave a big whole and I would still have the edge from the ‘C’ anyways.
I’m thinking the only way is to make that whole top part one polygon… but not sure how to do that!
Thanks again!

Okay, you have a couple of options at this point:
1. Connect all of those polygon objects into one object (connect command) and then use the edge melt function to get rid of that edge; or
2. Select the edges you don’t want displayed, create an edge selection tag for them (select>set selection), and then drag that tag into the sketch style tag>selections>lines box with the mode set to exclude.
