does anyone know a way to prevent getting polygons that cant be destroyed, sometimes they are ''floating'' inside the model, or connected in a way so that i have no idea what went wrong.
i hope someone can help me out:cry:

Wings 3D 0.98.32a, if i remember well

I've never used Wings3d, so I can only guess...
— Is there an object selection mode (polygon, vertex, edge), that you have to get into
— Are there layers, could the geometry be on a locked, inaccessible layer
— Part of a different model that isn't selected
— Can the offending geometry be selected, moved?
— In max you can freeze geometry, could you have accidentally "frozen" it, or made it some sort of reference copy

That's about all I can think of, good luck.

Check for different methods of removing polygon component through the help manual. I'm unfamiliar with Wigns3d, but in other applications theres several methods including delete, dissolve, and collapse (with different modifiers for each, such as 'dissolve and clean adjacent verts').
