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.

dimensions
I want to make several objects the same height but even if they are both set to 20 they are different heights I assume due to all the manual scaling. Is there a a simple way to solve this without recreating every object? Thanks

Thats too inflexible. If I'm putting together a complicated scene I like to resize manually on the fly. The visual scaling tool becomes useless if you can no longer harmonize dimensions because of it.Just make one the height you want and then duplicate it...

How about the snap to vertex. move your second object in the y direction, hold down the "V" and mmb over the vertex you want to size to, and you will then "snap" to that exact size.You could use create locator as a measuring tool, then put them in a layer so as not to select them...........dave
