Around ~3:45 it shows the process of holding Ctrl to "select shortest path" between vertices... this seems like an odd approach when you can just go into side view, toggle x-ray (alt Z), and select all of the points, then hit F to fill. (Same thing shown at ~6:10 for the bottom. Same result, no?
Hi Mike bbirdcircus ,
That won't work, because of the Buttons and Screen that are 'in the way' (they are not at the bottom, so that's why it does work there).
I really recommend trying it and see what goes wrong!
This:
is called Z-fighting and it happens when two Faces are in the same place. (The large one, made by your suggested method and the 'cross'); Blender (or any 3D software) doesn't know what Face to render.
