insert edgeloop?

does anyone have a maxsript that can work like maya in that you can just click and add an edgeloop but also before commiting you can interactivly place the loop...

would be neat!

Wow, I was just searching the forum for something similar to this. But I assumed 3dsmax must already have an insert edge loop feature similar to Maya's. No maxscript necessary. Does it really not? I'm hoping that I'm just overlooking something obvious and there is an insert edge loop command right in front of my face somewhere.

Not directly (AFAIK). Select the edges between (i.e. at right-angles to) 2 edge loops (not the loops themselves) and hit Connect. If you want more control use the Connect Dialog instead. May be a script kicking around to do what you want, but I've not come across one.

There are about 5 workarounds but nothing that works in so little steps as Maya's feature (to my knowledge).
Click one of the lines that you want to bisect>alt+r>right-click>connect
There is a slice tool
Slice plane also works wonders
alt+c activates the cut tool
