Maya: Edge Turning

try extrude edge. you can rotate an edge with it.

why dont you just move the vertices

Post screens of the problem, describing it gives me headache trying to imagine it D:!

In Max you got lots of ways but in Maya the only thing I ever found was to manually cut it up, I dont think theres a true edge turn tool but maybe I was blind for the year I used Maya

In any way, I always manually cut it up when it went wrong, so I used the regular cut tool and simply cut from one corner to another to create the correct triangulation

I'm probably not understanding you correctly, but if i am, just manually go into the poly in edge mode and delete the edge. You could even manually connect two verts together with an edge. I forget what the command is, if its not a node thing, check the edit polygon or polygon menu. if its a cube, though, that wouldn't work, so ill stfu now.

as zyn said, post screens of what you're talking about.

dont know what your talkn about, post screens.

I know exactly what you're talking about and like 'ourences, I never figured a good way to do it besides splitting the face manually with a new edge -- there are some maya gurus at work though, i'll ask tomorrow.

AFAIK it's to do with maya's (sometimes) smart procedural means of triangulating faces, so it's unlikely there's a proper tool for it. I think I've seen it retriangulate quads based on vertex positioning so as ignorant as he is mike-0 is not that far off. I think it's also possible that your exporter is going to triangulate your quads differently from how maya does it. I could be off base here.

edit polygons -> flip triangle edge
