One of my favorite functions in Lightwave is the ability to create a poly surface from a selection of verticies; csPolyTools makes this possible in max by adding a tool called MakePoly. MakePoly makes it easy to create new poly surfaces by leting you select the vertices you want first before creating the poly. This allows for futher control and accuracy over the default max method. Note that this tool will always work on 3 verticies, but depending on the ordering of the verticies it may not beable to create the proper surface.

Quick Install: csPolyTools comes as mzp file which means that it is a scripted installer. So go to "Run Script" from the Maxscript rollout (under the Utilies panel) and select the script. Now restart max, and the function should be available under csPolyTools for customization onto your toolbar.

To use the Make poly tool, go into vertex selection mode on any poly object, select 3 or more verticies and click the makePoly button.
