While holding CTRL we can also work with vertices. If the face is a triangle, Poly build will expand the triangle into a quad face. If we hold CTRL while clicking and dragging an edge, we will get a triangle indicator if the face the edge is connected to is a quad or n-gon. Edges will get a blue widget indication and vertices, while a bit harder to see will get a small blue dot overlayed when we move the cursor close.īy clicking and dragging an edge, we will extrude it while clicking and dragging a vertex will move it. We can hover our mesh to see different parts of it highlight in blue.

Generally, we start with a plane, a single edge, or a similarly simple geometry. Let’s start with how to add geometry and we will deal with the pitfalls later. When we are in edit mode and we select the poly build tool from the left side toolbar, it kind of acts as its own mini mode inside edit mode.
