Q: Creating new faces by dragging edges?

[augustus]

Extrude edge

I knew that one thank you ;) but it SO MUCH easier just create them on fly.

i don't know that maya can do that.
but you can draw polygons
Polygons/Create Polygon Tool

That's shame really. ...:thumbsdow

but it's probably scriptable so I seek highgen3d amongst others if I find any solutions.

? why not assign it to a hotkey? like.. pick an edge.. which you will do anyway.. press a hotkey and add the edge.?

err wait. the maya workflow is command->pick->execute right?
if thats the case guess that will kinda kill the workflow for ya :/

but if its select->execute command then its pretty much identical to what you already do. all you gotta do is be smart with your hotkeys.

ambient-whisper is right, just assign a key and it'll be exactly the same ;)

(It's pick -> command, for most tools in Maya)
