To use the BandSaw tool, just select apolygon and activate the BandSaw tool (Multiply > Subdivide:More > Bandsaw).NOTE: If you select more than one polygon, thefirst selected polygon controls the operation. Thistool is tailored for use on SubPatch objects inareas where you need more control points.The operation continues all the way around until it returns to thepoint of origin or encounters a non-four-point polygon.The Edge to select option determines the direction. With a quad,there are only two ways and these are described as Even or Odd.Select Auto for Bandsaw to pick the direction for you.By default, there will be a single default slice right in the center.This is the positioning of the slice that will be made on thepolygons. You can move it by selecting the Edit mode anddragging it with your mouse. You can also add more slices in theAdd mode or remove them in the Delete mode.To actually perform the slice, you need to activate the Enabledivide option. However, you can also use Bandsaw to just selectthe band of polygons by not activating this option.
