Subdivide multiple edges without creating perpendicular edges?

Hi folks,

Probably a super simple question, but please take a look at the film below.

First, i subdivide and a single edge, and of course i just get some new vertices only on that edge.

Next, i subdivide two edges, and now, not only do i get the vertices, but perpendicular edges are also created.

But my question is: how do i subdivided multiple edges in one go, and only get new vertices but no new perpendicular edges ?

So, i want to end up with this result:

Any ideas?

Afaik not possible,
you can create a loopcut between them so no face get selected if you select the both edges,
after that disolve the mid edge.

The reason is blender tries to avoid ngons.

Don’t select the two edges, just subdivide one at a time, the minute you do both together, Blender will assume you want to join them.

You might want to press F at last.

Thanks guys, it was for something in geometry nodes, but now i found a better way anyway!

Ohh… then why not ask: how to subdiv specific edges with geonodes… and add the geonode tag then properly some geo-node masters would have answered…

haha, good point!

It was for this problem:

And i even saw this… :sweat_smile:

(Anyway: why didn’t you continue there ?)

I am!

I still have one more problem to fix over on that thread so please keep your eye on it!
