ima noobie to 3dmax....i was using maya......and maya had a tool called split edge ring tool......which basically makes edges that cover whole polygon either running from x axis or y axis. i was just wondering if someone could tell me what is the same tool for 3dmax?TY!

Hi,

You should use Connect. If you want a much more improved Connect, capable of making limited, unlimited splits, etc at the same time, try Orionflame (http://www.orionflame.com)'s Connect.

sorry im totally noob....i downloaded that orionflame but where do i find it on max tools? also like the connect thingy.....is it possible to like 1 click then a whole new edge wraps around the polygon rather than select each edge then connect?

Hi,

Yes, Orionflame's Connect does this. You can find the commands in Customize menu > Customize User Interface > any tab like Keyboard > category:"Light's Orionflame" > Connect.

You can use it as a hotkey, or in a toolbar, quad menu, etc.

Please download the Orionflame documentation too, as it shows how to find it too.




Thanks,
Light
