Maybe you can't do this? I have an object with a hole in it (like the letter "O" with thick lettering).
I would like to fill in this hole with triangles from the vertices on the edge (of the hole) to one or more new vertices within. Can this be done? I was thinking to just define one new vertex right in the middle and somehow get AC3D to create all the new triangles from the many edge vertices to this single new vertex, but I haven't seen how to do this. The option to "insert verex", where you can place a single new vertex along an existing line between to exiting vertices is not feasable because it would take so much time to do this for the many many vertices in question. I am stumped.
