Most likely you have the construction history toggled off. It should be one of the icons on the status line...looks like a piece of parchment. Make sure it's active.

Thank you very much. You have no idea how much time I spend trying to figure a way to reactivate the inputs menu. (Maya's official manual does not even mention this).

that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
