mesh or smoothing errors on mirrored objects

[GeorgeDittmar]

ok here is a strange problem i have been having. I am making a character and when i mirror parts of him one half will be fine and another half will have mesh errors on it and i cant fix it. any one know how i can go about fixing this?

Looks like all the parts are in the same layer, make sure you have the option to merge points off. Or have the parts in a different layer, or mirror each part on it's own.

most of the stuff is in its own layer. it's almost like once it crosses the Y axis it gets screwed up.

Yeah, because merge points is selected in mirror tool. If not, any point that shares the same space as another, will be merged.
