if you are just wanting to view the face of the object instead of the verticies then simply right click on the object and select 'faces' from the options. You can then select any of the faces on the object by clicking the little white boxes in the middle.


Examples of bTraffic - a traffic animation tool for Maya
bFlocking - a tool for Maya 8.5+ to generate flocking and swarming behaviours

Hi,
Youre lucky cause i used to use blender user added image
You mean that if you select 4 verticles in blender and then press F it makes a face.
You can do this in maya by clicking the 4 verticles you want, then go to: edit polygon --> fill hole
Good luck user added image
