I am running Ver.3 of 3DS Max, and I'm having difficulty with the cut tool. I start to cut from an edge or vertex. I finish the cut I want, then right click to stop when I'm done. However when Im finished the vertices created from the cutting aren't attached to the edge I started from. How can I attach them after? I tried using the attach button, but to no avail. :shrug:

Haven't really use max three but I don't see why this won't work, Cut from the vertex you created to the edge you want it attached to then target weld the vertex you created to the on on the edge.

the issue that you speak of was always really anyoing to me, I almost always had to weld or remove verts after cutting. I know this might not be a solution for you but max 5 has really impoved the cut tool and pretty much eliminated this problem from occuring.

Latter versions of max have had problems witht he cut tool going all the way up to 4.2. Discreet boys seemed to have fix this little annoying occurence in 5.0 and 5.1. I have yet to see any problems from this tool while running 5.1 or 5.0.

Every once in awhile I do go back to 4.2 for some of the plugs that I have under 4.2 have yet to be ported to 5.x and just having to deal with this problem just makes me want to not go back at all sometimes:surprised
