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.

Go into the create menu, down to polygon primitives and at the bottom of the drop down menu is "interactive creation"

Uncheck that!
