Hello,

iam absolute new in Maya. I tried to modeling with Polygons. At a cube i beveled the two top edges. After that i wanted to bring in an edge-Loop, but thats not possible. I dont`t understand why. I have attached a pic who is to see what happens when i try to edgeloop after Bevel.

Edge loops only work with clean geometry , you have an Ngon face that needs to be a quad, you need to fix that first,,,remember "Clean modeling as much as possible"....the loop tool will fail or stop if it meets a triangle.

Thanks very much. That works. I connected the open Vertex an built a quad, then the edgeloop was possible. Good to know.
