problems with target weld

[Steban]

i am working in a character in 3ds max 09, but when i try to join the head to the body using target weld, in some vertex i can´t do it, and and if i try to create a polygon using those vertex, it appears "invalid new face" why is that happening? and what can i do to join the head to the body?

well is the neck having a hole in, as well as the bottom of the head need to be empty aswell, if theirs polygones closing the mesh it wont work.

[Steban]

yes, offcourse the bottom of the head is empty and the neck too.

Then its is really weird, instead of target weld did you try, the normal weld button??? Aswell try a STL check modifier see if it pick up error in that area, otherwise try posting some screenshot, maybe we ll pick up something otherwise its pretty weird.

Ow just anopther idea, maybe you hidden some polygons earlier on, try unhiding them, that could be it.

Good luck

these are the vertex that i can´t join

And using STL Check modifier (i don´t know how does it work), i have this, but i don´t know how to correct these mistakes.

usually this problem occurs when there is a "trapped polygon". maybe in your case your polygon is so small, you can't even see it! it happened to me once, so maybe you have the same problem too. another suggestion is to drag-and-drop around a vertex then see if there are multiple overlapped vertices that misht trap that polygon.
