thanks for the tuto, I feel so rusty after this... Nice tips for an old Lightwaver that was away from the light.

thank you for the tuto bergen !
- alternatively to your 'slice' action .. you also can use the 'split ring' function on selected center polys ..
- and you can use the 'thicken' -> segments option (in this case 3 segments)
then you simply move the 'inner' edge loops with 'edge edit' into the right position ..

And also Thicken - segments. Awesome!

Tried to send this response before, but it must have failed. Anyway, thanks for the Split Ring tip. I went back and tried that with the confidence that it would work. I found the trick was to choose all the polygons around the loop except for the triangles. Then hitting Split Ring created the edge loop. Excellent!
