Synopsis

polyPoke [-constructionHistory boolean] [-localTranslate linear linear linear] [-localTranslateX linear] [-localTranslateY linear] [-localTranslateZ linear] [-name string] [-translate linear linear linear] [-translateX linear] [-translateY linear] [-translateZ linear] [-worldSpace boolean] face selection

polyPoke is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Introduces a new vertex in the middle of the selected face, and connects it to the rest of the vertices of the face.
