I have messed around with max for a while on and off now, and i came to this tutorial http://www.trinisica.com/sub_learn_tutorial.asp?lv=3&mode=2&show=polymodeling
it is extremely basic but no matter what i do mine doesnt show like it does in the tut as soon as i create polygons it immediately shows it and it doesnt show the faces or anything when i click on it. I know this sounds like a really simple question but it is very frustrating.

Be more accurate with your question. We can help more that way.

Let me give this a shot.

First, he's creating a box and then going into the sub-object level and erasing everything(Verts, Polys, edges). That gives you a blank canvas.

Now, the first step you need to take is to create Vertexs. Make at least 3. Go to polygon sub-object mode, and click "create". Click the vertexs you just made in a counter-clockwise order.

A polygon should appear.

There is a script called CSPolyTools that is awsome for this technique, as allows you to simply window the verts and click a button, and it makes a poly for you.

You can get it here:

Anyway, if you can be alittle more descriptive with your question, I know I can be of help.

Look forward to your response.
