| I'd like the ability to split a face. Or at least when you split a line and move the vertice, the face moves with the vertice. If this already exists, can you point me in the right direction as I do not see it. |

| Can you tell us a little more about how DeleD should split the face? For example, how should DeleD split triangles, quads and polygons with more than 4 sides? |

In my opinion there are three options:
1) Split so you create one triangle and one N-gon.
2) Split at a 90 degree angle out from the split point.
3) Split so that you create two N-gons, or one N-gon and one (N-1)-gon.
Curiously, 2) would be most intuitive for a quad; 1) or 3) would be best for N-gons (depending on case), and 1) and 3) are the same for triangles.
I think 3) would be a good compromise for all of the cases, though -- it doesn't do anything horrible in any of the cases. |
