Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

Trim Tool Problem: Not working
I am trying to make a model in a tutotial from the book Mastering Maya 8.. it is an aircraft for a superhero type character. This is a Nurbs training segment.
I have made a surface for the body of the ship. It's a rounded deformed sphere shape. I put some wheel wells in it for the wheels and used the intersect and trim tool to make them. Now I am trying to make the cockpit for the ship and trying to intersect and trim the shapes -- it's a deformed sphere to make the cavity that the character would sit in.. but for some reason I am having all kinds of problems. Nothing I try works fully. The areas to be trimmed just won't trim. Especially the body of the ship...
I feel like I have tried every combination and order of operations.. deleting history.. rebuilding curves and surfaces.. not rebuilding them.. nothing seems to work. Any idea what's going on here?
Also, at some point when attempting it the cockpit portion turned all black.. maybe this is a clue?
I guess i should just start over on this segment -- rebuild it again -- but I wanted to see if anyone has any ideas.

after intersect and "rebuild curves"
duplicated cockpit area even though that wasn't set in the trim tool
I deleted the black duplicate and tried again and got this warning - - tried to trim again and crashed

I just deleted the history on all the parts -- including the curves created immediately after intersecting -- and then trimmed, and it worked fine.

It is a fun little tutorial.. A lot of tutorials I have tried weren't very good. I didn't like the things you make. I really like this one though because I'm into comics and stuff and this has a kind of Incredibles vibe to it. It seems like it will be a lot of fun animating this vehicle and character, too(Though challenging!).
