Extruding face problem
Hi, not sure what I've done but when I select a face and extrude it I dont get the handles to pull it around, I have to click the W button to move the face. Aswell as this I get can get some odd results like multiple hidden faces. I've tried resetting the extude options to default but I still get the same prob???
If I select a face and hit G (which I take it is an extrude face shortcut) then I get the handles, whats going on??? edit: now when I hit G I don't get the handles... this is weird Hope that makes sense Thanx for any help |
No juice, the 'g' key simply repeats the last command - you'll find extrude under the EdidPolys menu...
|
hit "t" to show the manipulator handles.

doesn't seem to work pm, if I create a new poly cube select a face then extrude it all that happens is the face stays selected and I get extra points above/below/left & right, if I hit the T key ( with the face still selected) nothing happens...
I've included a pic of what happens after extruding a face ( all settings in both extrude face & create poly cube are at default ) Cheers for the help, sorry to be a pain I can't even remember what It should look like when you click extrude face? so this pic may look fine, just without the manipulator handles. |
OK juice, select the face - as you have illustrated. Then, go to Edit Polygons (in the main pull-down menus) and click Extrude Face.
This should bring up the manipulator tool. Extude, the first extrusion (then hit Enter - to finalise the operation). THEN hit the g keyto repeat the extrude command (continue in this way until all extrusions complete). Keith |
you can use the normal move tool and stuff if you don't get the handles... it's just a little more difficult.

Thanks again for the help, Keef the problem isn't extruding the face that works from both the pull down menu & the e/f icon, the problem comes from the fact that the handles no longer appear where once they used to.
I can use to move tool (W) but I start getting odd clipping & extra faces to pull around, and like you said Mike it makes things a little trickier. What I can't understand is where & why have the handles gone and how do I go about getting them back? Again sorry to be a pain:o |
Turn History back on
_J |
Yup, its the history. I had this problem the first week of getting to know Maya. I was trying all the shiny buttons and then the manipulator went away and I was sad ... and a little angry. I guess I turned the history off, 'cause when I hit the button to turn it on all was well.
Do you know why this happens, Jango? Dave |
Ah, yes, should have figured that. The gizmo is Maya's way of editing the extrude after it's been done. To do that, you have to have history.
|
cheers guys, I think I must have accidently switched it on before reading these posts because all of a sudden it was working again without me knowing how, have to say Maya has a strange way of handeling the history, but I'm sure it's just one of things you soon get used to.
Thanx for all the help:) |
