Hi Aerics,

What you may want to try is to use 'Cut' to create a line down the surface. I've used your image to show you where to put it- see the yellow line.

To do this- select your object > modify panel > Edge mode and click 'cut', near the bottom of the menu. Then click at the start point where you want to make a new line (1), drag down to the opposite edge and click again (2). Finally, right click to de-select.

This should give you a new edge with a ready-attached vertex at each end.

Once you've got this new line, you should be able to 'weld' the new vertices to original vertices.

Let us know how you get on, Good luck!
