Hi, ive been using the slice plane feature and, i want to cut up a side of my model, so i select it, click on slice plane, put the 'knife' where it needs to be and click slice. It splits up the poly fine but it makes a vertex near the middle of the line like this.

o = vertex
- = edge

o-------o------------o

and i dont want that middle vertex, how do i prevent this?

thx

Sounds like you're working on an editable mesh. The slice plane cuts the hidden edge of the two triangles that make up the quad. This doesn't happen in editable poly mode. If you need to stay in mesh mode, then try using the slice modifier instead of the base level tool. That one doesn't cut the hidden edges. You can then collapse the stack and carry on modelling.
