split poly tool

[mmoore5553]

just wondering . i was going threw tutorials on and in it we have to use the split poly tool. Why is it sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt ? i mean reset it and dont work. The only way i have gotten it to work correctly is just to go ahead and redo the tutorial from beginning or find a save project from earlier ? Has anyone ran into that problem. It picks one point but i cant pick anymore . Also i did a search and didnt come up with anything like that. I know it should just work but i run into alot of problems with it. Any help would be appreciated. Also i have done the project in polys. I do have a saved project i can attach as a zip if that will be needed to help figure t his out .

I think what's going on for you is that you're trying to connect two edges that aren't adjoining. Try inverting your selection or making sure that you don't have any double edges. If you need more help on this, feel free to e-mail me your scene file. danlefeb@hotmail.com

The problem is with the topology of your model. Sometimes faces which seem to be adjoining are not. Check out this FAQ:
