Problem to generate faces

Hi, I joined the circles with the speaker object, but I'm struggling to create the faces. I generated the faces on the top and bottom of the speaker, but when I try to loop select the rest, it doesn't. I've tried it in many different ways, but it seems like it's considering each group of 5 circles (the ones used in the array modifier) as different vertices/edges.

    Hello Bianca. I'm not sure I understand. You want to select the circles and is not letting you? You are struggling to create the faces in what way? Can you point us to the part of the video you are trying to do, a time stamp of the video. Also some screenshots of your scene highlighting the issue.

    Hi Bianca, did you Apply the Array Modifier? Otherwise this won't work.

    Hey everyone, thank you for the answers and I'm reallly sorry about not replying before, I stopped doing the course for a while because of my work. I've checked my project and I have applied the array mod before trying to generate a face. I'm referring to the part on the timestamp 12:30 where he loop-selects to generate a face connecting the speaker holes to the border, and I'm getting this result:

    I don't know what might have caused this and I also have no idea how to fix it, I was considering deleting the holes and trying to do everything from scratch lol. Anyways, if you guys have any tips, I'd really appreciate it!

    Hi Bianca bbiiahofmann ,

    It's hard to tell from the screenshot, but could it be that you have so-called 'Double Vertices'? Select everything (all) with A (in Edit Mode)  and then M > Merge > By Distance. Then try again.

    If that doesn't work, maybe you could upload your .blend file (via GoogleDrive, Dropbox, or so) and post a link here, so we can see what is going on.

    That area is a bit of a cluster of vertices and it can get a bit tricky. So perhaps it is better to just upload the file so we can take a look.
