I'm a Maya newbie, and I've been having this annoying problem with Maya polys (probably user error). Basically, when I select all 6 faces of a poly cube and use the Extrude Face tool, the "Offset" attribute of the extrude face node doesn't work properly. It offsets the edges of 5 of the faces just fine, but the sixth face remains unchanged. Any ideas? Are there some rules with the Offset attribute that I'm not adhering to? Thanks for your time and help:)

i'm getting an erroneous behaviour too with the extrude surfaces tool and offset set to a positive or negative value

one face of the cube doesn't move at all

i never noticed - wiered

you could just scale the local x and y attributes just above the offset attribute.

Tried it too. Such a bug!

The workaround is pretty simple though. Make the extrude on all the faces and then use the Offset in Move Component instead.
