Polygonal Modeling: Insert Edge Loop & Offset Edge Loop Tool Tool in Maya 3D 2012

The Insert Edge Loop Tool is useful when you want to add detail across a large area of a polygon mesh. It lets you insert one or more edge loops across either a full or partial edge ring on a polygonal mesh. When you insert an edge loop, you are splitting the polygon faces associated with the selected edge ring.
