What does MJ Poly Tools "edge loop split" do? There's "Insert Edge Loop" and "Offset Edge Loop" which sound similar, but I don't know what the functionality of "edge loop split" is, so it's hard to say. What version of Maya are you using right now? Insert Edge Loop has been in since before Maya 2008, afaik.
also you could set the options for teh insert edge loop tool. Set number of edges to 1 and it will always make it evenly spaced. you can do a max of 6 loops too, so its quite useful.
I'm using 2010 now. As far as what it did,I could select and edge and then hit split edge in MJ Tools and it would put an edge loop exactly in the center of the edge I had selected. Lets say I selected one of the edges that formed the waist loop of a character, if I went to MJ Tools and split, it would split in the center…
You can set the tool settings (option box to the right of the Insert Edge Loop command in the menu) to change how the snapping works. If it has "1 magnet" and a higher tolerance, then it will always easily snap to the exact centre of the edge you click on to insert the loop. Super-high tolerances mean it will always snap…
Thanks so much for the quick reply. That's what I am looking for. I managed to get the split poly tool to work how I needed but I cant find anything about magnet points or snapping tolerance in the Insert Edge Loop options?
