Gun Empty Space Fast Forward

Question

Hey Guys!

Please review the below time stamps:

1) 6:54 - Jonathan deletes 3 faces created by a new edge loop cut

2) 6:55 - He selects the 4 vertices of which he just deleted the faces, and fills.

3) 6:56 - He then selects just two top vertices and fills again (I think), then selects a face and pulls it into empty space.

The problem I have here is that my face seems to pull a vertex along with it, however, I'm not understanding why his does not appear to be doing the same.

Granted maybe I just never see the angle which shows Jonathan's pulling the vertex similar to mine, but it doesn't feel correct.

indeed @BirdOfWar you are correct.

If you look closely, you can see that what you get is exactly what Jonathan Lampel gets:

The unselected Verts stay behind.

Hey Martin!

Okay thanks for the second look. I felt crazy for like an hour yesterday trying to ensure I didn't have double vertices and just running through different things that maybe I was not doing correctly.

I'm a bit OCD about it, I'd move the vertex so that edge gets straight. But that's just me. I'm getting better thought at having a topology that is not perfect and be ok with it. I can let a weird edge in there somewhere, or a triangle maybe, perhaps one Ngon. But never all three.
