This course contains a little bit of everything with modeling, UVing, texturing and dynamics in Maya, as well as compositing multilayered EXR's in Photoshop.

warnings are not necessarily something to worry about in most cases. Errors are what you need to watch out for.

It looks like the extrude has taken place (the little blue dots on the edges of your selected faces are the faces the extrude created). If your extrude face gizmo is not showing up, you should be able to use the normal move tool and move those faces up to where you want them.

Wrong sub-menu

Actually, dude I believe you are attempting to use extrude in the surfaces menu. Poly faces are extruded under"edit polygons/ extrude faces" .you should now see the proper tools.

happy poliday

As Mike said, you appear to have already extruded once as the tiny faces along the edges indicate that an extrude has occured. Why you are not getting the extrude manipulator is the issue.

I would recommend you try this just to see if you have inadvertantly turned on/off something in your preferences.

1. Open Maya

2. Create a single Poly plane

3. select a single face and then edit poly>extrude face and see if you get the manipulator.

If you do then you have something in your other scene that is wanking you.

You might try deleting the faces including the tiny zero area ones already in your scene (from the screen image you provided). Then use polygon>append poly to recreate the deleted faces, then try to extrude again.

Or maybe export the model then open a new scene import the model will sometimes clear up goofy settings.

As a newbie myself I found out very quickly you have to be VERY careful about accidentally pressing any keys on you keyboard as Maya maps them to all sorts of shortcuts and it is pretty easy to get yourself all wrapped around the axle turing on/off some goofy mode or feature by accidentally hitting some hotkey. Mys favorite way to get screwed up is to select a part and start typing in a name for it and the next thing I know I have hit 15 hotkeys before I realize I did not have the name selected in the channel box!

Worst case the point you are in that model it might be easier to start from scratch.

Good luck,
