        First make sure you explode the image (if you have not done so yet) then turn your face rendering into X-ray. Now you should be able to "see through" and the edges should also "find each other".

            Its easier to help if you post some pictures to show the problem.

              No, you did not. You can import as image, as textureor as match photo image. There's no such option as "picture".

              Please, if you really seek help and answers here, be as precise as possible. And do not use obscure abbreviations as we are not to solve extra puzzles here. Helping is fairly enough.

              How about uploading that file?

                      All right. If you import an image of anything (say a weapon or even a chicken) via File > Import (select the proper file type and make sure that it says "import as image" on the right) then you can right click and "explode" that image. It will become a face with the image applied as material on it.

                          One major problem is that you have unconnected geometry.

                          Each number is a unconnected line

                            i know but i can't find them thats my problem

                            In the styles box turn on profile lines and that should show you the incomplete faces (thicker lines)

                            Also open up the image in my last post and look where the arrows are pointing

                                    You can also try Edge Tools plugin:

                                    Tool there that will highlight exactly where the gaps are.
