Help I'm getting creases in geometry

[Ashleymatthews]

I Will like to know if anyone can help me with why these creases are coming up. I have all polys and its aligned well. I was trying to outline the button so I did an extrusion inside and then I pulled it out. Maybe I went about it the wrong way I just wanted to show an outline of the button. I hope that makes sense. The light switch is an example of what I was going for with this button. I think that's why creases are showing. If you have any ideas that may help, I will greatly appreciate your time

 

Thanks

did you try adding a smooth mod to your mesh and making sure that all of the vert. are all on the same plane?

I would have created a box or 2d rectangle then extruded the rectangle and select the sides run about 4 connections through your main body of the switch. Once that was done then extruded the inner piece outwards for the switch. For the screws I would of created to 2d circles and then shapemerged so you can cut into the main switch body for the holes then put a couple of cylinders for the screws

@ luthias42 no I didn't add a smooth mod because I used polygon smoothing groups and the verts are on the same plane.

 

@ datacrasher thanks I forgot about the shape merge option, that works best

 

 

Thanks guys:)

I would just use a box and the cut tool.

Here is what I came up with, didn't take long to do.

Thanks Aubrey but how did you get those areas in the picture for the outline of the switch? Did you extrude in a certain amount of times? In your picture I pointed out exactly what i'm referring to

It's hard to tell from the screenshot I guess but yes they are just extruded. I'll send you the max file if you want to play with it.

yes that will be great if you don't mind
