creating a vertex where two edges cross

Support Basics & Interface

hi,

there’s probably a really simple answer to this one, but i’ve been unable to find it.

if i have a horizontal edge and a vertical edge and they pass through each other, is there a way i can make a vertex appear where they cross, connecting the two?

what i currently do is subdivide the horizontal edge, take the vertex this produces and edit it’s horizontal location to match the vertical line. then i subdivide the vertical edge, take the vertex this produces and edit it’s vertical location to match the horizontal line. then i have two vertices in the place where the edges cross, so i take them and merge them together, getting the desired result.

this is a horrifically slow way of working, if someone could point out the quick way of doing this it would be great.

thanks.

Wow! I knew that Four Mad Men was a highly skilled Blender artist, but I had no idea he wrote Blender scripts. This script will be a huge help.
