3ds max symmetry and meshsmooth problem

[Spectre289]

I'm making a face which is mainly completed and am using the symmetry modifier but when I turn on meshsmooth, it smoothes the 2 halves separately instead of smoothing as a single object, anybody know how to fix it?

It looks like you have faces where the two halves meet. Delete those faces. If the verts still dont weld correctly adjust the symmetry threshhold value but unless all your connecting vertices are aligned you could get mixed results.

that had been bugging me for quite a while, deleting the faces where the 2 halves meet worked, tyvm :pleased:
