when modeling if you hit TAB you'll get a list of tool catagories…look in the Polygon section…
drop down each of these nodes and read the help card (press the ? on the parameter pane)
there are examples of how all these nodes are used..

Dissolve will remove an edge. Hit “s”, “2”, select your edge, “<TAB>Dissolve”, “<Enter>”.

We have a very very basic one here, and another two free ones over at 3dBuzz.com I'm not aware of any others.

These will give you a good sense of the node workflow.
