Unable to mirror

[malbert]

Ok for some reason when I try to use Polygons, Mirror Geometry it just tells me "Error: Cannot change topology, poly mesh has allow Topology Modification atribute set to false." When I try to mirror it with duplicate it just gives me a line. If anyone wants I can take a screenshot but i'm guessing the problems are linked. So if anyone knows how I can fix that I'd appricate it.

try this, someone had a similar problem and posted a help request.....to which the reply was >>>>>>>>>>>instead of using the mirror geometry just duplicate the object and set the scale of x to -1

if it is imperative that you use the mirror geometry on the object mentioned

- click on the object
- open up the attribute editor
- make sure you are on the object's shape tab (at top will say something like pCubeShape1 unless you renamed it)
- expand Mesh Controls options
- make sure that Allow Topology Mod is checked

That fixed it thanks Sam. For some reason when I try to use duplicate to mirror the object its still just giving me the single lines tho. I'll have to play with that more later.

Well I mannaged to fix it but i'm not sure what exactly was doing it, changing 4 things at once seems to make it harder to pin down what was doing it exactly. What was happening tho is rather than duplicating the object it would just give me a few apparently random lines from the object. /shrug Dunno just know its working right now so i'm cool. (Thats what my mom says anyway) :P
