Hmmm... I just reset Maya and when I rebooted it I did not load the scene that i was having problems with... When I tried it, it works now. Also, in the other scene (pictured) I was trying to make other objects, not just lofts or extrudes and they were acting the same way, I must have accidentally changed a setting somewhere... What would make ALL new objects act the same way? Id there a generic setting somewhere that controls this? Im going to experiment.
