For some reason my sculpting tool in Maya doesn't work properly. every time i try to sculpt an object, nothing happens. I tried to change setting in the sculpt menu but nothing works.This started a few weeks ago. Today I decided to upgrade to a 2010 Maya, but when it asked if i wanted old preferences or new i picked old. the sculpting doesn't work still so i assume it has to do with the preferences. But I'm not sure. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Have you tried deleting your preferences folder?

do I do that in Maya itself or somewhere on my hard drive?

If you're using Windows, you should have a folder inside your 'my documents' folder labeled Maya. Somewhere inside that should be your preferences folder.

Have you tried switching components, even selecting some verts on your mesh and then going back to object mode? I've had that happen a few times with that sculpt tool.

Also, if you don't have enough geometry on your object, the various sculpt geometry tools will not work. I'm pretty sure you've also tried changing the brush size to see if it will change the object.
