Member jcue Posted April 29, 2013 Member Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hello, Is there a way to split a single edge and/or add a vertex to an existing edge? I'm trying to convert a triangle to a quad by adding a single vertex (without touching any other geometry) but I've been unsuccessful. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member puntoit Posted April 30, 2013 Advanced Member Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 You could create a Split between two edges and then move the unwanted vertice onto another and therefore weld it and get rid of it. More cumbersome than desired but a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member jcue Posted April 30, 2013 Author Member Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Thank you Neophyte. Im curious if their is a way to accomplish the split without a work around.

Contributor Tony Nemo Posted April 30, 2013 Contributor Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Better to show a screen grab of the problem. It might show why you apparently can't use a tool like Add/Split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member jcue Posted April 30, 2013 Author Member Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I have no problems using the add split tool. Im just wondering if i can add a single vertex to an edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I usually just delete the poly(s) and reconstruct with either the split tool, quads or points & faces tool. Would be handy once in a while to "insert vertices" along an edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
