Hi,

I think it would help if you specify which software you are using, as the tools (and their names) tend to vary between packages.

In Maya, there is an "Insert Edge Loop" tool which will achieve what you want; create a uniform edge around your geometry.

And in Max you just select the edges you want to split and click Connect.
