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.

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

think ive found the answer, its a known issue on this site, this worked for me, so good luck:

Issue:

On some Dell systems, Maya menus are displayed incorrectly. Some sliders or
option boxes are missing.

Solution:

Change the default system font size, restart your system then change it back
(and restart again).

On Windows 2000:

It is in display properties: (right-mouse on desktop -> Properties,
Settings-> Advanced -> General Tab -> Display Font size. )

On Windows XP:

It is in display properties: (right-mouse on desktop -> Properties,
Settings-> Advanced -> General Tab -> Display Font size DPI. )
