Edge without transform / data?

Support Modeling
1

Hi,

I am having a problem with the model in the first (upper) image below. The issue is that when I select any edge or face that is one the legs of the character then I cannot do anything with them, .e.g. move or extrude. However, when I select any edge that is on the upper part, such as the torso, then they work normally, that is I can move and do stuff with them. If you look at the lower picture you see that the transform panel says “Nothing selected” when I have the edge on the leg selected.

I have been trying to figure out what could be wrong but I cannot figure it out. It could be useful to know that at some point the legs were their own separate object before they were all merged into the one character object you see. I am following a tutorial and didn’t (stupidly) save any earlier versions, so I cannot say when this started happening.

If anyone has any idea what could be causing the issue or what I can do to get the edges to have a transform / data then that would be most helpful. Thanks for any help.

Upload your blend-file so we can take a look at it. Hard to say without it where the problem is.

Ok I put a link to it in the OP, hopefully someone can take a look :slight_smile:.

if you press alt H it will fix the problem but it doesn’t explain why it happened :wink: I don’t understand why you can’t select

Yes this seems to have been the problem, thanks for the help!

No idea what caused it though, maybe I accidentally pressed some button combination or something.
