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.

Problems with the different views

Hi, i´m starting to use Maya and i got two major questions:

1. When im working with the perspective view i can use all the Transformation Tools without a problem, but when im using the other views (side, top or front) i can only use the Move Tool (or transform the object with the Channel Box). ¿Is there a setting o a preference menu for this?

2. When im working with textures and i open mi scene file sometimes and i can view the whole thing normally but sometimes the textures does not appear (or appear in the perspective view but don´t in the side, top or front views). When the render is done all is there. ¿What should i do?

Thanks

If I understand your first question correct - you can only see the transform tools in the perspective view, right? I think that that may be a graphic card issue - though that's about all I know.

For the second problem you just need to press 6 in each of the view panels that you want to view textures.

his tools might also be too big... try using + or - to change the manipulator sizes...


Accept no substitutions.
