ive been teaching myself Maya and started by building a spider, a black widow to be more specific.

i built it in Maya 3.0 using create polygon/split polygon tool.

i've got the whole body done and the two front legs. what i need to know is how do i cut off one of the legs, duplicate it and then glue it to a new spot?

ive searched tutorials but most are for a different version and the menu's are not the same.

thanks for any help!

I'm not sure how the menus are built in maya 3 but it seems like a simple enough operation. Basically you have to Split the vertices at the joint where you want to seperate the leg, then select all of the faces for the leg you want and do a Seperate. As a result, the body and the leg should become two seperate objects.
