yellow verts in object mode, cant use split polygon tool

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.

well one thing you could try is go into component mode, (by pressing F8) and then right clicking on the 'Points' button (looks like a black box next to a black dot) and make sure poly vertices has an X in the box. if there's no X then it won't let you select poly vertices.

also just to make sure, next to the points button is the 'set the component selection mask' button, it looks like a stack of two equal signs with a down-pointing triangle between them... left-click on that, and make sure that you pick 'all components off'. then choose just points mode and see if you can select your vertices then.
