Hello everybody 🙂

I’ve been using nomad now for quite a while and I never had this problem here (look at pic).  
I tried to cut it out or to smooth it out, but it doesn’t react on anything. What can I do to get rid of that thing?

Thank u so much 🙂

Did you check if it’s masked?  
Sometimes it also helps to press separate on the object in the 3 dots submenu to split off parts of the mesh.

I’ve had this happen a few different times. I have no clue as to why it happens but when I do encounter it it’s after I save the file and reopen it. I’ve gotten rid of it by voxel remeshing and then trimming the points away. It sometimes creates a hole and you will need to infill that area. Hope this helps.
