This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

Detach Component command not working

Having problems building this model in this tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFmzcHpWCrI

When I selected the edges around the neck, Maya wouldn't let me separate the head and body by choosing the Edit Mesh/ Detach Component command, then Mesh / Separate.
Instead it says "Separate works on selected objects or on faces from one single object" in the command response bar.

Is there another way of doing this, or am I missing a step?

You have the model selected and in object mode (green lines) when you hit Seperate?


Cheers, the Yeti.
