i have a prob with the option box!
 

lol, well ok, I am a total newb and learning when it comes to maya. I bought like three books and maya to learn for my company.

Ok so here it goes. I am not seeing all the options in the option box when I try to acces it from the NURBS Primitives submenu. So, I click the option box and I only see this:

does it not work when u try to go through the input node also?

now when I press the space bar ( if that is what you ment by input node ) it just comes up with a blank box.:(

edit: that was actually for a sphere. but for the cylinder i get the same thing...

Dude, did get a Dell? Found this in the Alias Communities Forum:

select the objext and hit control a then under the scale transform options will be a thing that says like clyinder inputs click in and more advanced options for manipulating the object will come up.
