extruding problem, help asap!!!

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Sounds like it could be a video card issue or some video processing issue. We get this problem every-so-often at the school I teach at. Manipulators don't show up, you cant see keyframes in the timeline, and certain tools don't work correctly. I've found the common fix for that is to simpy reboot the PC and it shows up. It's a weird thing and nobody seems to know why it happens. Give that a try and let me know if it works.

ok, for me i had to remove my custom preferences,
(my documents>maya>maya6.0>prefs) just rename the prefs folder, but you do lose your custom things, like shelves. until you name it back

or sometimes, u just have to go to modify>manipulators>show manipulator tools, but that didnt work for me
