Proof that I'm an idiot <:-D ; Delete by Type > History ... forgot all about that. That was a long list. Delete, and duh... look at that, Maya's lag decreases dramatically :-) (I understand that it's a good idea to keep history to, especially when in the modeling phase. But I had a waaaaaayyy more history than I needed, & I've got back-up scenes saved with the history).

It was also very nice to learn about the Move Tool's; Set to Point, Set to Edge, and Set to Face (never knew <:-o ). I have a ton more to learn. I spent most of my time today watching vid's and learning (YouTube, Digital Tutors, and the AREA), and searching threads in CG Society. For modeling I only did a little, focusing on the elbow & getting it to look better when previewed smooth.
