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.

Getting absloute co-ordinates in maya

hi,

is there any way in maya to display absolute co-ordinates? I've got a couple of vertices that have moved out of symmetry on my modes and I wan to get the aligned again, but don't want to divide and mirror.

How can I find out it's exact place in space so I can re-locate its opposite?

thanks,

gubar

xform -q -t -ws;
