I am stuck trying to solve this problem, I need some advice.

.blend file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3qarlafx6sbzkhf/camaro_tail.blend?dl=0 I am on this situation:

enter image description here As you can see I hace a "weird" quad there. enter image description here I would like to have two proper quads instead. But I can't figure out a way of doing it.

I tried this and that's what I want on that side: enter image description here But then I have a problem on the other side: enter image description here

I extrude the whole edge to make quads, but the problem keeps on repeating.

enter image description here

Do you have any ideas?

I would like to keep a proper topology, all quads. But the problem is the quads doesn't pair on both sides.

What I'm modeling is this, without the tail light, that I will model separately. So it's a slot for tail light.

Thanks! enter image description here Edit: New attempt as moonboots adviced:I end with and ngon because of the upper loop cuts enter image description here

Maybe do it this way? Do you plan to use a Subdivision Surface modifier? In that case you'll need to bevel your angles. Also it's sometimes ok to use tris, as long as the render is good...

Edit: Here is one way to fix the problem you show:

  • $\begingroup$ Yes I plan to use subdivision. The problem with your solution is that it is still not a quad, at least for me, because of the new edge loop. I will ad a picture to the question explaining it. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ you can easily get rid of these 2 vertices with a reduction of topology $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ for example see: topologyguides.com/assets/img/163679954765_0.png ... if you don't manage to reduce, please share your new file $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I've edited my answer, if you really need these 2 edges on the top here is a way to get rid of them, I'm sure it is not the best topology for your object but it's just to show how you can reduce topology $\endgroup$
