im sure there is probably a simple way to do this. suppose I have a editable poly box and I delete a polygon at the sub object level. now, there is a hole in the box. Is there a way to select 4 vertices and then create a polygon using these vertices? i know there has to be a way to do this, so this is probably a newb question but any help would be great, thanks.

You can switch to "Border" sub-object mode, then click your open face and click the "Cap" button.

or you can go into poly mode / sub-object and click create on mod panel then from bottom right counter clockwise click the 4 verts that you want to form a poly and wala :) there are a few more ways to do it but this is the one I use alot

or you can download polymagus and cspoly plugins.

polymagus has 'blend edges': select 2 opposite edges and it creates a poly between them.
cspoly has 'make poly': select 3 or more vertices and it creates a poly between them.

Blend edges is something I use alot now.

erm...

shift+drag one of the edges and weld the new edge's vertices to the opposite side...???

[usually only any good if the poly is 4 sided]
