split poly tool question
I'm sorry if this question has been asked before (and I hope this is in the right forum) but I cannot figure out how to split in the middle of a face with the split poly tool. Michael McKinley does it in the poly ear tutorial. He starts from the edge and then clicks in the middle of a surface and it inserts a point. I can't seem to do that, i just end up with a point on an edge or nothing at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and sorry for the hassle...
thank you...

It's possible Mike was using a special tool, perhaps similar to the facePathSplit tool I have for download on my site which might need to be used differently.
Last, but not least, you might not be able to complete an edge with the Poly Split Tool because of extra faces you are not aware of that would actually make the geometry layout different that it appears. (like a face directly on top of a face) I doubt this is the problem, but if you want to check, try selecting random faces around your problem area and move them about to see if you can find extra faces underneath that shouldn't be there. (undo to return your geometry back to where it was of course after moving stuff around)
