Re: Best Way To Add Edges?
To clarify... are you asking if the knife tool is the best way to add edges, or how to use the knife?
As far as if the knife is the best way to add edges, I think it depends on the situation. For ragged edges you want to make straight, it's very handy. If you're just looking for an extra set of vertices to work with, I'm partial to "divide loop" and "extrude" myself.
As far as how to use the knife, I usually draw an oversized cube and use it as the knife. There's an alternate knife at supercoldmilk.com that will let you use a rectangle instead of a cube. I like that knife better, because then I simply use the rectangle as a dividing plane which is very straight-forward.
