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.

Polygon Combine and seperate problem
I have a bunch of polygon objects that I want to scale together so that they all scale the same --- they have their own pivot points in different locations etc. They also have names applied to them and are in groups.
What I did to scale them together was to select "Polygon > Combine" which created "Polysurface1" and then I scaled them together and then selected "Edit Polygons > Seperate" which then transferred the objects back to the way they were "as in seperate objects once again" --- but grouped them under polysurface1 with random names that I now have to regroup and name again as they originally were.
Does somebody know of an easier way to select all the objects and scale them in unison without the name changing involvement as mentioned above.
Cheers and Thanks in advance,
Don.
