      I have a simple polygon and the MCOMMAND_SUBDIVIDE ** ** divides it in 4.

      Now my question:

      Is there a way that I can divide it in only 2 instead of 4??

      Thanks Confused

        You mean asymmetrically? No, that is topologically not possible.

        Imagine the three squares that meet in a corner of a cube. Try subdividing them in only one direction (in any possible combination - there are eight cases, many of which are topologically symmetric). You will see that it is not possible to cut them in a way that will not ALSO generate an additional point on an edge of a poly that has already been cut.

          Hello,

          the MCOMMAND_SUBDIVIDE simply applies a subdivision algorithm that creates for polygons for each given quad.

          Best wishes,
          Sebastian
