Complex UV Layout in Maya
Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

Yikes! Lost my menu bar!

Okay, so I'm on chapter 5 of Maya Fundamentals, and it just had me load all of the preset hotkeys and marking menus into my preferences. I start Maya back up, and of course, everything is screwed up. user added image

I've put most things back where they belong, but one problem remains... my menu bar (File Edit Modify etc.) is gone. It comes back temporarily when I do crtl-m, but goes away again when I click.

Is there a setting somewhere to make it stay up?

Last time I drag files into my preferences, I learned my lesson. user added image

thread

his first question is about the same, check my reply. But instead of the pane menubar, check main menubar.

Thanks, d2, but I didn't see any options for a "main menubar", just for the pane menus. user added image

I guess the Hotbox is enough, but it's weird not seeing the menu bar up there.

i think you may have hidden it:

try display>>ui elements>>restore UI elements.

I don't see how you can miss it, it's really just above it.
