Subdividing Help

Hey guys, I feel so dumb for asking this but i cannot figure it out. Im making a simple roadblock that im going to bring into zbrush and detail in.

I cannot figure out how to sub divide it correctly.Its normal shape warps the bottom, then when i added some edges to help keep the form, the bottom still warps. How do i subdivide this so when i bring it into zbrush and divide it, it keeps it shape? Thanks you

You need edges on Y axies. Your creasing to the edges is accorate, but you also need 2 x 8 eadges running along from the bottom to top.

EDIT: actually if you are bringing this to zbrush you need 2x16 edges on the Y axies running from bottom to top. You dont need to smooth this in 3ds max, you can just do that in zbrush.

Thank you i got it, it wasnt just as simple as adding more edges, the vertices are those point were not welded. So once i did that, then you sub div rec everything works now.

Thank you for your quick response, it was racking my brain ... too late maybe bed time lol
