HOW CAN I EXTRUDE FACES WITHOU SUBDIVIDING THEM??

i know it sounds silly, but it´s driving me NUTS!!!!!!!!! :headbang:

i know how to divide an extusion to get to a bigger number of faces, is not that...

every time that i extrude faces the sub divisions in the "polyCreateFace" node is set to 6, so the final extrusion SUCKS...

in the picture i was trying to make a depression at the top face of the cube, and that´s how it looks

if anyone knows i can i fix this, i would like to now (if u didn´t understand my question ask me and i´ll try to be clearer)

tkx...
