Thanks!

Now another question:

Looking for planar align tools so I can quickly make verts on a loop planar in X, Y or Z? Is there anyway to do that in Maya or do I need to get a script?

Also, a question about Edit Mesh> Merge.
If I click on the options box the Merge Vertices Options pops open.
Now once this is open anychanges that are made do not show up until I do an Apply?
It's not interactive? I can't see it until I commit to the changes? Is that right?
