Maya 2013 bonus tools has been released, and with it comes a bunch of new modeling tools as well as taking some of the previously known actions in maya (such as delete Edge, Delete Vertex Edges, Spin Edge, N-Sided to Quad, Poke, and subdivide) which now can work as tools under the Bonus Tools Modeling Menu.
Maya Bonus Tools for 2013 also adds a SLIDE COMPONENT tool as well as a FLATTEN COMPONENTS tool for interactively flattening or straightening edges – both welcome additions if you are not using something like NEX tools for Maya.
