Hi guys,,, ok finally,,, coming into the world of maya... not to mention apple shake.

Ok, i want to know,, is there a way to set the

display>Polygon>Custom Polygon Display

So that it acts for every polygon... like if i convert a nurbs to a poly,, it goes back to the normal style,,, the border edges are still the same as the others. As for nurbs,, they are fine as i can see the end sweep.

How would you check for ngons on a model.. is there a command or something that will show you which ones are ngons.

Oh ya one last thing. I am using Maya 6 Unlimited... any settings i should be turning off so that it loads faster... I was thinking of turning off paint effects and dynamics. if i was to turn off.. then if i want to use it... will it auto load??

A little explanation on settings... would be appreciated. Ok,, think after a while,, i should get the hang of it,,, but then again time is not on my hands as i am going to do this full time.

Ok at first i can just model in Lightwave... but i still need to get myself into Maya.

Any help is much appreciated.
