Maybe delete your 2013/14 pref files and let it import your old ones from 2011 if you still have them.

There's a HUGE difference. In fact it's not even called "split polygon tool" anymore, it's "interactive split tool" now.Have have seen no differances with the tool myself and its one i use all the time.

Select your model and shift>right mouse click and select split, then choose split polygon tool instead of interactive split tool. This has been hidden there for people like you (and I) who hate the interactive split tool. I've saved it to my shortcuts shelf and use it everyday.

You sir, are now my best friend... haha. Seriously, Thanks a bunch! (I kinda feel stupid now)Hey Sampson, I'm using Maya 2012 so I'm not sure if this tip still works in 2013 but give it a shot.
