For some reason when I right click and select face on a polygonal object it just highlights the edges in blue and I get no face points. It gives me face points when I load maya then after I select some things a few times it just goes to the edges. It works for a while on some days and others its less than 5 minutes...
The only way I can get it to show face points again is restart maya.

EDIT: Well, i figured it out not 5 mionutes after I posted...It had been bugging me for at least a week though.
I was selecting by the wrong thing....
What a way to start off a membership...sorry guys
