Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Cannot split a face?

Hi all,

I've been trying to use the Insert Edge Loop tool but there's one face(!) that I need to split but it will do every other face but the one I want it to! I've also tried the Split Polygon tool as well by adding vertices? All my tools are at default settings and I'm using Maya 2011.

Has this happened to any of you before?

Thanks in advance :-)

you could delete the face and then fill it with the append to polygon tool to get the split or fill the hole and try the split polygon tool again.
