Building a car wheel using NURBS
I'm trying to build a car wheel using NURBS, one of the Maya consultant showed us at the maya learning day...and i'm stuck on one of the steps. The tutorial file can be downloaded from www.mayaunlimited.com under PLE How to's.
The part that i'm stuck is after selecting the Cylinder and the slice that i just build-->edit nurbs-->Surface Fillet-->Circular Fillet and open the dialog box-->reset settings-->create curve on surface-->fillet button
Then go edit Nurbs-->select trim tool-->click on the cylinder w/ left mouse button (suppose to show the dotted outline of my surface) which is where the problem is.....can't seem to get the dotted outline on the surface at all...please help...stuck for a week now.....=)
Hope all you experts can help me...
Thank you all
just a newbie...

A trim action needs a full and connected trimline on the surface to be trimmed. So if you by chance have projected several individual lines onto a surface but not managed to make a 100% connected trimline, the trim action will not go further as to show the cool dotted outline.

And if you selected "create curve on surface" in the dialog box, then you should be able to simply trim the both the TWO surfaces the fillet was made for.
You should be able to see the trim line on/around BOTH nurbs-surfaces, together with the newly created fillet-surface.
