Array + Subsurface: next step to take?

Hi

I modelled one side of my object. Put it in an array.

How to move on now? I want to close the top and model some extra things on top of it. I want everything to be one object.
So I want one solid object out of this array. No seperate pieces. So all 6 pieces should be attached to each other and they should share edges.

What’s the best way to do is?

thx for the help!

You probably want to move the subsurf modifier below the array. The subsurfing creates new vertices which don’t line up and thus don’t get merged.

The order of modifiers in the stack is important. Modifiers are applied in the order from top of the list to the bottom. You want to subsurf an array, not array a subsurfed object, so change the order.

Cool! That works!
I have one edge that doesn’t connect or doesn’t merge. You can see the other vertical edges are rounded but this one is not. Is it because there is a minor gap?

if all the other edges connect, it’s the first/last one, you need to enable first last in the modifier to also merge those.

OK!

Many thanks! You helped me a lot!
