start with basic modeling tools, do a square as an example, then right click>convert to>editable poly
then at your right you will have the polygon editing tools and the selection tools.
start playing!

anything you want to know ask it, if i can i´ll help you

Ill post the tutorials i watched to learn blender, most of them are over an hour long but they are very helpful.

They go over things from, basic controls, basic and advanced modelling tools, edge splitting, and lots of other stuff.
It is best to downlaod the zip file with the .AVI file inside.

These should give you all of the skills to model track objects and possibly other things for mxs if you watch all of the videos.

man cut tool is base of the modeling you should learn how to use it in right way

[mace-x]

cut tool hmmm....
as soon as i need to do something i'll try to use it, i dont thrust on it tho, it cuts everything in his way
i'll play with it later

Tip: if you want to cut a polygon, select the poly and then use the cut tool. This makes sure you only cut that poly not everything.

sounds reasonable, for now i select the 2 opposite edges of the quad and connect, that kinda makes the job for me hehe
