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.

cutting out a rectangle with rounded edges from a plane
I've managed to do what I needed by using smooth, turning the cut out rectangle into one with rounded corners, as shown in the screenshot below, but the geometry doesn't really need smoothed, and I know there must be a better way to do this without resorting to using it
I've been watching tutorials on cutting out a circle from a plane, but for some reason get brain freeze when trying to cut out a round-edged rectangle,
if anyone has any suggestions to help melt my brain freeze I'd be really grateful,
thanks
Nicky
