Mirror Modifier Related Question

Hello, I am new to blender and 3D modeling in general, I am following treasure chest course and trying to create my own design variation but I am having issues with mirror modifier, when I apply mirror modifier I get duplicate vertices all over my mesh. Am I doing something wrong? I leave all modifier settings on default. Please Help. C:

    when using the mirror modifier you only model "half" the model and the modifier makes the other half...

    sounds like you are modeling the entire piece and the modifier then doubles all verts...

    this is a guess on my part because you didn't show any pictures or post a .blend file

    either of these would help someone to help you in an easier way

    hope this helps

    Yeah I should have posted a screencap or something, but I did delete half of the model. Anyway, luckily I was looking around and I found this merge thingy in mesh menu so I started using that and was able to merge all extra vertices.
