Hi folks, i'm new to this forum and Hexagon. I would like to know if there is a simple command for splitting a single edge in Hex?
Thanks

Steve.

Hi and welcome.
This command can be assigned to a shortcut. (Press: Alt + K to assign shortcuts)

Basically, it is:Menu / Tool/ Vertex modeling (or directly in the Vertex modeling tab)/ Dissociate.

At first, select the desired edge (or the points) then click on the tool.

Hi Hopper
Dissosiate simply splits an edge appart leaving a hole, in other apps it's called edge rip or disconect. Hope that clears things up for you.
