    I have a general modeling question. I am trying to model an old milk can.
    The handle is attachted to the surface of an additional piece of metall.
    I don´t know the correct term.

    For this I need additional geometry.How can I  do that?
    If  I use Loop cut I will have vertices on areas  I don`t  neet  them.
    With subdivide I will  produce n-gone around this  area.
    With shortcut “V”  I can split – but this  doesn`t really help me.
    I saw already tutorials and there was explained how  to get rid of  the extra   vertices (n-gones) by  usin edge-slide.
    But so far I dont have a  correct idea how to managed it.

    By the way:In Blender you  can  found e.g. n-gones:
    Edit Mode >Face selection mode
    Go to  Select >Select All  by Traits>Select  Faces by Sides
    On the Tool shelf, select  :”Greater  than 4″
    there are  some more helpful  options
