    Edge loop not going over edge

    Hey, i'm having issues on the grill part, my edge loops won't go over this particular edge. I tried merging and deleting any possible duplicate edges or vertices but nothing has helped. Thank you in advance for any help

      Hi Otso KKarhis ,

      You have a Vertex at the green 'circle', making the red striped Face an NGon (Face with in your case 5 Edges) and Edge Loops only pass through Quads...

      There's a lot of topology rules when modeling. I always say Press Start is more like a tech demo. If you're super new, you should start with The Blender Basics and the Fundamentals of Mesh modeling. We can link you up if you haven't seen those courses.

      I also had a problem with this part.  I couldn't get a loop through the middle face at all.  It turned out there were two pairs of vertices, one pair on each end of one of the edges, making the middle face an n-gon.  A good thing to remember, checking for extra vertices when a loop isn't running through a face as expected.
