How to join two pieces in edit mode

Hi all,

I’m modeling a human. I did did all except the left arm, wich I intended to copy the right arm mirroring and then link it with the left shoulder using make edge/face.

After doing that the result seems ok, but when I enable “Set smooth” the junction becomes darker.

I’d like to know why this happens and if someone knows how to solve this problem :smiley:

Thanks!

Try recalculating normals. Select all the verts in the mesh and then press ctrl-n, to recalculate normals outside.

Great! That worked! Thank you very much!
