Inputs problem..
 

when i create a new polygon primative it does not show the input where u can put how many sub divisions and enter the hight and etc.... anyone know how to bring this up?

It should be in the channels box; press "Ctrl + a" a couple times to bring it up.

naw it stil doesnt come up, im using maya ulimited 8.5 if that makes a difference

Hm...it shouldn't make much difference.

When you have an object selected and the channel box open, there should be an all-capitals, bold text that says "INPUTS" Under that should be the name of your object. Click that name, and you will have access to...well...the inputs that make up the creation of that geometry.

For example, make a basic poly cube; in the channels box, it should read:

INPUTS
polyCube1

Click polyCube 1 to see the inputs.

naw there is no were i see a section for Inputs on the right.. i have video tutorials from sites about modeling and on thier screen its there but on my computer its not

Can you post a screenshot of what your screen looks like, with a basic polygon primitive (selected), and the channel box open?

ok I posted 2 screen different screen shots.. tell me what u think thanks

heres the second :)

The second screenshot would be the one that contains your channel box.

When your click on pCubeShape1, nothing opens up, correct?

that is corect

I see that it lists pCubeShape1 under "SHAPES"...just below that, there should be another section that says "INPUTS."

Did you delete the history on your cube? If so, that gets rid of the inputs; simply create another cube to solve that problem, if that is the case.

Like yea:

naw i did not delete any history, all i did was open maya and create a cube. im trying and i dont know why its not displaying the inputs

Drat...my "help" has become obsolete :p

Only other thing I can suggest is to use the options box, though it is a little slower, obnoxious and tedious.

Other than that, wait for another God-awesome SM user to come by to assist you :D

thanks for your help, i really appreciate it. u kow what i also tried it with maya 7 personal learning edition and it does the same damn thing, no inputs listed, i mean could this be something wrong with my computer? oh and by the way, you should update your signature to the new pope lol
