Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Polygon Split Tool trouble

I'm new to maya and I've found this tutorial showing a method to model a head, but I'm at a loss. Here's the link , it shows how to use the create new polygon to outline the head, then the split polygon tool to creat contour lines? Whenever i use the split polygon tool it only goes from one point on the polygon to another, it wont let me draw lines. I am just retarded or does this really not make sense? Thanks
