Hi,
I am a Noob to Maya, but familiar with LW and MODO. I am trying to learn Maya via tutorials and such, but I have a question.

I have posted some scrren pics of a front monster torso that I have and a rear leg.

As separate pieces, you can see in pic 1 that when I select a poly it shows 1 face selected in Heads up display. This makes sense. Likewise when I select a point, it says 1 point is selected.

In pic 2, this is the same for the rear leg that I have.

However, when I go to polygon-combine, everything seems good, but when I select a face, the Heads up shows 2 faces selected. If I select a point, it shows 2 selected.

If I then select directly on the face and delete, there is two on top of each other.

In LW and MODO and such, this is no good and will certainly create problems later by having polys and points on top of one another.

Maybe this is how Maya works? Please clarify for me.

Thanks
