shapemerge-epoly

[voltron7]

Hi, I've usually used a shapemerge for some land elements, then change to e -poly, etc. Lately, however, after changing the shapemerge into an e-poly, and selecting the polygon sub object, it no longer selects any polys as it usually did. Am I missing something, or forget a step? Thanks!
Usually it would select the poly already, saving a ton of time to select sooo many polygons! Everything looks fine up until the editable poly step...

never mind, it worked fine if i used editable mesh instead...

Just happens sometimes when youre using complex shapes, as youve found out try edit mesh, if that doesnt work then youre manually selecting them.
You could also split the spline that you plan to shapemerge into 2 or more splines, giving it less to deal with at any one time.

Thanks cubiclegangster, I'll try to keep it simpler/smaller in future.
