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.

creating Geometry constraints
can you create geometry constraints only in object mode or is there a way to select components (i.e. faces) of a mesh and constrain those?
i've tried but it tells me it is invalid- I guess the problem is that selecting multiple components means that it can't determine which are supposed to be targets and which are supposed to be constrained- is there a way around this?
thanks,
katie

But, I don't think the entire object will follow, though. If you want to constrain an object at a certain point like that, put its pivot point there.

i wanted to put several constraints on the same mesh, so that worked out.
