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.

What version of Maya are you using? Also, are there any errors in the script editor?

to convert polygons to subdiviions you must first have a good modeled surface or object. which means all of its faces should be in quads. then simply modify > convert > poly to subdivision > the max base mesh faces should be a high enough number to turn your polygon into a subdi, and the maximum edges per vetex should be set high enough so that it can make enough vertex to support your model.
