Hi all! I'm working in Maya 5.0 with a head that I created in 4.5 using the alien tutorial found in Maya Fundamentals 4.5. For some reason, I can't seem to select the polygonal faces when I'm in the face mode. Does anyone know what the hang up is here?

Why would I not be able to select faces? The faces appear on the model when I switch to that mode, but I can't select any of them. . .What gives? :shrug:

Any help is really appreciated!

try click on dots in the middle of faces, if you cant see the dot, try drawing a marquee around the area where the dot should be(center of faces)..

You could also check the face normals and see if its facing the rightway..(if the backface culling is off poly's are viewed as doublesided in GL preview window).

hope that helped, if not :cry:

Thnx for the response, but neither of those suggestions appeared to work. I'm kind of stumped. . .It's not necessarily a HUGE deal, but I was curious at to what the heck happened. . .If I figure it out, I'll post on it.

Thanks again!!! :beer:
