3DS Max - Multiple Edge Loops as seen in Maya?

LeeGregory · May 2017

Hi guys,

I wonder if anyone might know of an easy way to insert multiple edge loops into a mesh similar to the way the "Insert Edge Loop" tool allows in Maya? I am an experienced Maya user but I'm trying to pick up 3DS Max.

If no such tool exists, I would be interested to know how experienced 3DS Max users go about dividing up a row of polygons with an arbitrary number of equally spaced edges?

Thanks in advance.

The connect tool is what you want. There is both with/without a floating dialogue.

And for just throwing a loop in you have,..... the 'loop tool' ! Its pn the modeller shelf.

musashidan: you've solved my problem, thank you!

and @kanga - yes, the swift loop tool is just like the Maya insert edge loop tool, only it lacks an option for creating multiple loops in one operation which the latter offers. Thank you though!

Hmm,... you could throw in a loop and then camfer it. With the dialog button you can specify the number of splits. Probably not the same though.

That's actually a very good idea, cheers!
