Maya triangle fan

Is it possible to insert an edge loop into a triangle fan in Maya?

You can use Connect Components for it since it's not a proper edge ring.

Thanks. That worked. Why is it not a proper edge ring?

It's not a proper edge ring because the associated polygons are not quads; therefore, the Insert Edge Loop tool doesn't know which way to go (this is why edge loops stop at ngons and triangles).

Alternatively, you can extrude the center vertex with a length of 0.
