Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

I don't think the component editor is a very intuitive tool to do skin weighting. However you might come across situation were you have to use it.

if the model of your leg only has one subdivision of vertices at the knee, that's why you're not getting any deformation. add some more edge loops to any bending parts (elbows, wrists, knees, etc.) before you bind.
Accept no substitutions.
