Can someone tell me how to make a gun for SWBF2 in XSI Modtools?
I checked http://www.thereisnotry.net/html/xsi_wp1.html but that dosent work when im in the middle of page 2 where i have to "split some edges"
I kept looking but i cant find Poly.Mesh>Split Edges/subdivide

its because mod tools doesnt have all the same tools in it as the full version of XSI, try using the knife tool which is the "[" key or add edge tool which is the "\" key

Mod tools has subdivide, its under Model - Modify - Polymesh
Theres a bunch of really usefull tools in that area

T, Y, U and I are all secondary shape selection tools, and with the knife tool if you just wanna cut certain polygons just select the polygon and use the tool on it, best to do it in one of the orthographic views.

0,0,0 is just a point of origin where all 3 planes intersect, simple math.

move the model there the best you can and then click on transform>freeze all transforms with the model selected then freeze the model to get rid of the center operator.
