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.

Now that you mention it, I don't think I've seen that tool in my menu's either (maya 8.5) (not to say that it isn't). Did you do a search in the Maya help file? Odd, if Autodesk did away with it.

Anyway, I downloaded MJ Poly Tools from another site and am pretty sure it's in there. Note: Though I havn't had any problems with using MJPoly Tools, others say it can leave unwanted verts and such.

cut edge ring tool? there is no suck thing. there is an insert edge ring tool, and a select edge ring tool, but there was never a cut edge ring tool... there is a cut faces tool though



in maya 8, they tried that plane cutting tool thing you mention, and then they switched back in 8.5.... sorry
