Complex UV Layout in Maya
Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

- select a face and not a whole object then press planar mapping
- go to the properties of planar mapping and set the axis of your projection (x,y or z)

The manipulator is turned off for some reason, and I don't ever remember selecting anything that could have accidently turned the manipulator off.
Here is a screen shot of my planar properties.

This thread explains in a little more detail what's going on, and provides a bit more insight into Maya. After reading both threads I solved the problem by starting with a model and opening the Channel Box, and then watching what changed when I did a planar projection. There appeared a new input called polyPlanarProj1, and when I selected that the manipulators appeared. So, hours after following the simple tutorial steps and scouring the manual and the web for info on how I can use the program, I can now proceed with the mapping. :angry:
