Simple_dog_shape tutorial

Im working on the simple dog tutorial and right off the bat im stuck.He first makes a cube and then converts it to sub-d followed by selecting the faces and extruding it.For me the problem is selecting the faces and extruding it because maya gives me and error saying "Error:polyEXTRUDEFACEt works on polygon facces.Any ideas?

Sorry foxhound - right:

After you make your shape and while you convert there is an option box under the convert - poly to sub

make sure you select "proxy object" I have mine set for default here so missed it on the vid...

just keeping you on your toes
