mate - no offence, but i think you need to explain your question a bit better. What exactly are you tring to do. If you want to create a polygon by 'drawing' points, use the create polygon tool under the polygon menu.

Hope that helps...user added image

sorry
hmmmm lets say that I hav a polygon box 3by3 squares and one of the faces are missing. Is there a way to make a polygon face by selecting the surrounding points and using a convert option?

ie convert selected points to poly??

yea the apend poly tool, you can select one edge and another and it will fill in that hole with a polygon. Also if you cant get that to work then just extrude that edge, snap the points to the ones on the box and merge. Thats only if the append isnt working but usually the only time that doesnt work is if your normals are all going in different directions. good luck mate
