dividing face in only one direction
The Polygon Subdivide tool works in both axes AND only divides in an even number of subfaces.
If I could snap the Split Polygon tool to fixed percentages of the edge...
It's possible using magnets but it's very boring: you have to decrease the number after each split

After you cut, select the history item and use the Show Manipulator Tool to reposition where the cut was made. You can then snap it to the grid, if you wanted.
You can also use the Split Polygon Tool.

Good to knowOriginally posted by mtmckinley
you can snap it to a grid.
Anyway, I've just selected the newly created verts and used the move tool to snap them where I want...

You split the two lateral edges using the Split Polygon into 7 pieces, for example, and then Split tool again the vertices created.
It doesn't work in polygon proxy mode tough.

it does work in poly proxy mode. just ignore that maya complains about subd creation. once you finished splitting the faces, the error message will be gone.Originally posted by luismg
I found another way to divide evenly a rectangular face:
