try looking in the top left corner - there should be a small box that says something like animation, modeling, dynamics, etc... Just click on the box and select modeling and and you should see the edit polygon menu come up. Not sure if that's how you do it on the latest version of maya though..

The function keys F2-F6 will allow you to toggle between the various menus as well.

F2 = animation
F3 = modeling
F4 = dynamics
F5 = rendering
F6 = maya live

In 8.5, look at the top left of the screen. Click on the drop-down menu, and go to Polygons, then you will see a menu called "Edit Mesh".

Well, if you look at the shelf, many of the common poly editing tools are there (face extrude, edge, extrude, split, cut, merge, etc.). If you look at the menu at the top, "Edit Mesh" would contain all the poly editing tools. It used to be called "edit polygons" in Maya 7 or earlier. You really need to hit "F1" and start reading through the help files so you can familiarize yourself with getting around the UI.

it was me who sent it.., i sent it for ddvenku to work on. i got an e-mail and thought it might be helpful for others rather than just keeping it at a personal level..

i just put his e-mail there (got it today) so he knows i am answering him!

anyway, hope it helps him??

thanks for the added stuff.
