SubD
I´ve been running into a little problem with these SubDs. I converted the poly mesh into a subdivision surface, then sliced my viewports in two, and started working SubD in one, and the Polymode in the other one. The problem I seem to have is the fact that this poly mesh (Proxy?) does not have shading at all, thus making picking individual vertexes or faces a daunting task.
Is there a workflow I´ve got to follow? Maybe a way of shading this polymesh?

and how did you split up the proxy and the mesh into two different viewports?
the proxy is meant to be wireframe because the way ur meant to use it is with the mesh inside it, not seperated, but i can see your problem. if i knew how you seperated the proxy and the mesh maybe i can help then

Color is actually given artificially to the images. I work on a standard gray background in Maya. Proven, so no point in trying to invent another one.
As per your question do the following:
- Convert object to SUBD´s
- Pick a 2Pane Layout (Outliner/Pers works for me)
- Panel > Perspective > Pers (You´ve got two perspective windows now)
- Move the frontier at your liking
- In one of the viewports, select Polygon mode for the SubD.
- In that same viewport, Show > Subdivision Surfaces (to uncheck it)
- In the other viewport, Show > Polygons (to uncheck it)
... And you´re done. Now you can change the polygon proxy, and watch it update far faster in the other window.
Hope it helps,

As for how Adl is able to model in proxy mode in one viewport and standard in another I do not know. On mine, Maya has to update both viewports upon modifying on object in one or even moving the camera. And I do not think you can smooth shade the proxy box. It remains in wireframe because the folks at Alias|Wavefront thought you would always want to see your mesh being modified when you extrude/modify a face.

Thanks for the info on the proxy mesh, bummer, perhaps in a newer version.
