Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

Can't Find Extrude Tool ?????????

How do I find my Extrude tool, it seems to be lost. Not sure if there's a hot key or something of that natural in maya 8. This is the tool that has all 3 tool included move, rotate, scale and the reverse circle button at the top left.



Please help.... user added image

Nevermind I found it. For those that might run into this same problem, you would simply turn on your history button at the top right side of the menu (scroll looking button).

I know that there is Extrude Face and Extrude Edge...Plain Extrude is Extrude Face and i'm pretty sure there should be Extrude Edge

In Maya 2008 it is under Edit Mesh - Extrude. Extrude is now combined and does both faces and edges.


Challenge me and I will try. Because If I should fail, failure also has a prize (Knowledge).

I don't have Maya 8, don't think that version lasted long. But I checked in Maya 8.5 and they are combined in it also. About Maya 8, sorry haven't got it to refer to.

That's probably the 'Keep Construction History' button.
Should be in one of the tabs.


When in doubt, delete history and freeze transformations.
