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.

split vertex

hi, I just split 2 vertices on a border edge (middle of the body) and they became 6 vertices. Now I want to select the vertices that make up the edge wich forms the chest/neck line and leave the ones from the border edge where they are.
However when I select the vertex it keeps selecting the one on the borderedge. How can I select the other vertices that are under it?
I think I once saw a window where all vertices are displayed but I can't find it anymore.

I normally just pick the vertices and move them slightly until I get the one I want, and merge the rest the way I see fit. Not very fancy, but it works.

I tried that, but I can't get them to line up exactly in the middle afterwards. Is there perhaps a window where you can enter the coordinates for vertices?
