Should be on the flyout with Smooth Quad Divide, Mirror Modeling, Dimensioning, Decompose, Split Hierarchy tools (dont have tS6.6 installed at present, so going on tS7.5 modeler side which should be the same).


Dont forget the Icon Finder - you can just search for Poly and it should find the poly tool, show you the picture, and pop open the toolbar to show where to find it too.


HTH!

...aaaand a picture from tS6.6 might be worth 1001 words.
Here it is in the default 6.6 toolbar layout:

BTW those of us with tS7 should avoid this tool and use the new one in the workspace, which is orders of magnitude better!


HTH!

Another tip for 6.6 users, Right click on the icon first to set parameters up. Left clicking the icon with an object selected performs the polygon reduction operation immediately. It leaves the original intact but puts the reduced lower-polygon copy (or copies, depending on the 'number' parameter) in the same location-you have to move one or the other to see the difference.
