Every time I look in the 3D window I can see thru some objects. I have made a robot (see my screenshot) and every time I look from above the model I can see thru his hips. Is this normal? Will I have the same problem when I use this model in a game? What can I do to undo this if this should give me a problem in game. I do not have this problem on any other part of the robot. This may sound stupid both this is my 3th model I have made sins I have deled. So I still have to learn a lot Very Happy

Looks like you maybe have a polygon facing the wrong way there. Select it and use flip to get it facing the right way Very Happy

yes, what fik says.

Polygons only have 1 face, so only viewable from one side. F5 can make polygons also show themselves from the other side, but will probaply go back when you use it in your game. The best thing to to is to flip those polygons, and otherwise(if there isn't a polygone at all!) select all the vertices that surround that open space and "fill" it.

Looks like I have lost some poly’s while making the model. I have no id how I could have deleted them. I will remake that part en see what the end result is when I put in the new made hips.

go to vertex mode, find your open gap, select all the vertices that surround that gap. the click on "fill" and voila you gap is filled. it doesn't always work with weird gaps and alot of vertices but it does the job.
