2 Select Edit Mesh > Append to Polygon Tool > .
3 In the Append to Polygon Tool settings window, set the following:
Keep new faces planar: Off
If the planar option is on, the Append to Polygon Tool will not create a
multi-sided polygon as the edges youll select do not form a planar region.
4 In the perspective view, click once on the top inner border edge of the
helmet mesh to indicate which mesh you are appending to, and then
click the same edge a second time to begin the append operation (see
image below).
5 Click the bottom edge of the face shield that is opposite the first edge
you just clicked.
A polygon appears that spans the two edges.
6 Continue to click the remaining border edges in a counter-clockwise
direction around the opening for the face shield (see image above) until
you reach the last edge.
7 When you are finished clicking the perimeter border edges for the face
shield, press the q key to quit the tool.
The multi-sided polygon is completed and added to the existing mesh.
Multi-sided polygons are also referred to as n-gons.
