Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

And maybe thinking about your scaling of your models?

You should not model too small in Maya...

By the way,

I know this could sound stupid, but I'm curious... I wonder all the time about the size of my models. How big should they be? Not bigger than the grid, for example? Once I modeled a house, with a mountain behind. The mountain was so big I couldn't even see it in the perspective view (half of it disappeared). If I model a small object, let's say a pencil, with lots of details, I would probably scale it in a comfortable size. But then, what about if I want to model the rest of the objects, a table, chairs, even a whole room? They would be too big. I don't know, I'm still wondering...

Hmm, my modelst tend to be (for organic humanoids) about 50-60 units tall. The grid is 10x10 units.
