The Add Divisions Tool
You can use the Add Divisions tool to increase the number of faces of a poly surface by
evenly dividing either all faces or just those selected. Select the poly surface face or faces,
and choose Edit Mesh Add Divisions. In the option box, you can adjust the number of
times the faces are divided by moving the Division Levels slider. The Mode drop-down
menu gives you the choice to subdivide your faces into quads (four-sided faces, as on the
left of Figure 4.30) or triangles (three-sided faces, as on the right in Figure 4.30).
You can also select a poly edge to divide. Running this tool on edges divides the edges
into separate edges along the same face. It doesn't divide the face; rather, you use it to
change the shape of the face by moving the divided edges, as shown in Figure 4.31.
