Split
Use the Split tools to split a cage with a loop or split a single PolyNURBS cage face.
Split Cage with Loop

tool.

Click the edge of an existing cage to create a loop perpendicular to that edge.
Mouse over an existing edge to preview the loop.
The loop is created at the point where you clicked.
