I’ve never met such an error before, so I’ve no idea what it can be. Does anybody know the answer? Please, help) :pray:

Hello!

This error often (like often) occurs when:

  • the mesh is very small;
  • OR (most likely) the mesh contains double vertices.

Select the mesh in Edit Mode, and M > Merge by Distance. Note the Info message that will flash in the bottom bar of the screen - it will say if any vertices were merged.
