The linear subdivide tool performs a single linear subdivision process on a raw polygon object. It can be used to increase the detail of a object. The subdivide tool retains all crease and polygon selection (material) properties.

For more details about creases and multiple polygon selections, see the raw polygon object.

Modes
The subdivide tool can only be applied to raw polygon objects. It's behavior in point, edge, polygon and object mode is the same.

• 
  To perform a linear subdivide, just select a raw polygon object from the object browser and use the menu command "ToolsPolygonLinear subdivide". Now a linear subdivision step will be performed on the mesh. Creases and multiple materials will be retained.
  If you are in polygon mode and you've selected some polygons the subdivision will be only performed on the selected polygons.

Tips

• Use the Subdivision object to perform interactive subdivision modeling, or to use Stam-Loop subdivision processing.
