So, I'm an absolute beginner. I just started using Blender in order to create 3D objects to import into Unity, and right now I'm trying to create a lightning symbol. I started with the standard cube and I'm trying to reform it into a lightning, but I need to add more vertices to it and I don't know how. I've searched on Google and found a way to add more vertices but it doesn't appear to be working (I'm probably doing something wrong). Any form of help is appreciated.

1Try looking at these manual pages: Basics and Subdividing, I also recommend the official Blender YouTube channel. It seems to me you are early enough in your learning that's the best way forward. – kim holder May 30 '18 at 16:57

It's not that hard, but not particularly obvious either.
- Switch to edge select mode using the button at the bottom of the 3D view.
- Select the edges you want to add vertices to.
- Hit W > Subdivide. (Not Subdivide Smooth! Unless you want your new edge to be rounded, which doesn't sound like the case here.)
- (Optional) Switch back to vertex mode.
That's all there is to it!

Select two or more vertices, then press F to create an edge.
