No manifold mesh

Yo,

I’m trying to use the decimator on a mesh to make the number of faces not so big. When i bring it down to a sutable number it gives me a message saying “no manifold mesh.” what does this mean? and how can i fix it( if possible).

Thanx
Pooba

Hello

The mesh must be closed and “clean” (no cross edges and bizarre shapes, corners…)

Actually ‘multifolded’ describes a mesh where there are edges belonging to MORE than two faces…

I created the guy out of metaballs and then converted into a mesh, so that might be the problem…
