This is my first time ever using Maya or any rendering program. I accidentally found out about maya and looked like the coolest thing.

Anyway, I donwloaded the Personal Learning Edition and started playing around. I downloaded the cloth tutorial here and didn't get far. There is a step after creating the square. Its where you hold the spacebar and select "Cloth" from the second menu from the bottom.

My problem here is that the "Cloth" menu is inactive and I'm unable to select it.

Why is this and how can I fix this problem.

Thanks, Matt
