Vertices Merge (Alt-M) not working...

Hey

I am having an issue...

I want to merge two Vertices, using the 'At Last' option, but when I select two Vertices, and hit Alt-M, I am only given the following options...

At Center At Cursor Collape

Any idea why I am not getting the full list?

Pulling my hair out here!

Further info; these are 2 vertices on the same object, and I have not accidentally selected more than 2, or anything like that.

Cheers

If you selected them with one operation (such as brush or box select) there will not be a defined "first" and "last" vertex, so you can't use those options.

Hey thanks for the answer. Yeah, this was the problem.

So, I can not use the box or brush select for this operation (C or B)? I have right click on the first vertices, then shift-right click on the second, right? Is this the only way to select things for merging? Seems a bit tiresome...

Cheers!

Select them all as you normally would, then shift right click the vertex you want to collapse onto twice. (Once to deselect, once again to reselect and set it as the active vertex)

Ah right, nice one. That speeds things up a bit!

Thanks a lot.

You have to actually select them in a certain order to get 'at first' and 'at last', because if you use box select you're just selecting all of them at the same time. The program can't know which one you meant and if it'd guess it'd just guess wrongly anyway.
