Glad that worked for you. Also beware of your Clip Plane Setting. This is the setting that decides how far away you can be from your object without it dissappearing. I keep mine set to 100000.00. Just select View in the work area and then camera attributes. Then in the camera attributes section find the far clipping plane setting and increase to whatever you need. The near clipping is how close you can get without it dissappearing.

Looking foward to seeing you grow as a Maya Artist!
