      I'm not sure if I'm using the terminology right, but,

      I have a flat surface with a texture on it and I would like to automatically, maybe via some plugin or by the sandbox Add Detail add a mesh of triangles to the surface, but I don't seem to be able to.

      want to add detail to this surface but can't

      There is probably something I am forgetting since I haven't read the docs in a while, but if someone can pass along a clue, I would be grateful.

      Thank you

        I would first ask what do you want to do with the mesh as it could make a difference how you did it.
        However, here is a simple one I made by using sandbox From Scratch, I just made a mesh and exploded it on top of the avo and removed the bits not wanted. This gives a regular grid that doesn't conform to the shape, so it may produce strange results around the borders depending on what you do with it.
