Are you talking to me? There are no ngons in my prop. Everything is a quad. The front face outer frame is 4 quads, partially welded to the four sides of the cube. The bevel is welded to the top and bottom quads on the front, and to each other, and to the center front quad.

There are 14 polygons, all quads, and 22 vertices. I could split them all, but then I wouldn't have anything to demonstrate with regard to welded polygons.

This model doesn't actually want smoothing, so there is no compelling reason to weld these. I could demonstrate one that requires some smoothing and some splitting if you like, and how to handle it.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
