Quad Draw - Tris

Is it possible to make tris when using the Quad Draw tool? So far, I've not been able to. The Maya documentation suggests the colour should turn pink, but I don't think I've ever seen it do that. Only green. There's one area I want to add a tri too:

Thanks

Hi!

With the Quad Draw tool you can only create quads.

The only exception is if there is a hole left that required a triangle to be filled.

So either create a quad face and then use traditional editing options like merging vertices or the Split Polygon Tool

You can also build faces around your triangle and then fill the hole with the Quad Draw tool.

Okay. Thanks for confirming.
