I have found with editable poly that you don't always do it counterclockwise though it usually triggers an error message saying illegal new face if you do it the wrong way. When you think you have created the new poly check in your undo history that it says it has done it because it sounds like you haven't completed the action properly. :)

If you guys get CSpolytools(goes along with meshtools), you could just select all the points at once and hit a create poly button. I usually just create a plane make it 1 seg by 1 seg, and convert it to editable poly. Then I just select edges and shift/drag them.:D

i talk for the same method bro but with editpoly2 / shift/drag the edge/

btw polytools don't work correct with meshtools for me
i don't know why

cheers

Can you elaborate on that? They should get along famously, as long as you're running Max 4.2 (csPolyTools uses functions not available in pre-4.2 releases).

My polytools work just fine too, 4.2 as well.
