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.

When you say reset your scene say you save your file as "cup" when you reopen it is it a scene with nothing in it..............dave

When you save, do you have the file type set to Maya Ascii or Maya Binary?
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
