there is a work around... but it adds way too much geometry. best thing to do is to manually get rid of tris and N-gons

N-gons are plygonal faces with any number of sides. i.e. a single face with 12 8 edges. it is best to try to model in quads, but certaqin areas call for a triangle here and there. to do this manyally is to basically use poly modeling techniques. split chamfer subdivide, with maya's poly modeling tools.
sorry for l8 reply
