Thanks to you, Lobo3433.  I have used the loops tool addon, and find it of great importance!  I think for now there is not an equal to that feature in our Blender.  I beg forgiveness for my English.  I speak better than I type it I think, so I copy this text from the 3dsmax desciption of what they call the Flow connection:

The standard Connect tool inserts an edge loop, but makes no consideration for the flow of the geometry around the area if it’s being inserted. It simply follows the existing topology. Sometimes this is what we want, but not always.

The Flow Connect tool inserts a loop through the ring and adjusts the new edges to follow the physical outline of the mesh. For example, if you want to add a new edge around the neck of a wine bottle, then you would probably want this edge loop to maintain the existing curvature of the neck shape. Flow Connect does exactly that.

I think this for a future realease.
