i downloaded the basic person modeling tutorial... i got it working and when i modeled it to the point that it looked like a sphere with a tube coming out of it... now when i extrude the faces to make the body shape it gives me bumps instead of straight sides...(it tells me something like tweaks with history will be undesireable) i am kinda new at this whole maya thing... i have 4.0 and besides not knowing how to move the camera angle very fast... i dont know how to fix these problems... well if anyone could help me and letme know what i am doing wrong and let me know how to fix this problem... i would be most grateful... >_< ^_^

I think you have Keep Faces Together unchecked.

Go to Polygon > Tool Options > Keep Faces Together.

About moving the camera. It's really just how fast youmove the mouse around.

Yeah, but no but yeah but no....

yeah... i cant make a cab for this car i am making... i just have a large box and the seats&dash are missing... and it wont let me merge the verts to make the box attach to the car so its just kinda hangin out there... alos i am makin my car in polies and when i make the holes for where the tires go... and then smooth it... the tireholes are still block... which makes the car look uber crappy... i bow to the and ask...

:bow: what am i doing wrong master :bow:
