no its the snap function, its just the fact if i am making a line over a set of faces, it will just refuse to split a face until i break the line i am making, then split the face in a different part drag the edge over and merge the vertices to the original line, then i can continue, very fustrating and can end up distorting my geometry
the more I Think I know about Maya the less I seem to know about it.
