Poly Spilt Tool Issues
However although it's worked out on most of the model I've ran into an issue with the Split tool not working. It gives me one of two results (randomly), when I hit enter after laying down my new vertices it either fails to create any new edges or it goes off and creates a triangle somewhere i didn't click. As far as I can tell I didn't accidentally double extrude anything without transforming and I've been around and hit merge vertices around the area just in case I did and there was a face I couldn't see. However that hasn't changed anything and the mesh looks fine in wireframe or x-ray. It does appear like there is some strange dark shading in the poly's in that area if its a clue to anyone as what would cause this?
Any help appreciated, Ckyuk.

As for the odd shading try unlocking the normals. This is under the normals tab. Hardening the normals can also fix odd shading artifacts but this will cause you to have to go through and resoften edges if you do not intend to smooth the model. Also turn off two-sided lighting to be sure you do not have flipped faces.
