Maya Modeling :: Double Verts And Edges

Jan 22, 2012

The image shows what my problem is. I can't select faces unless I go inside the object, but the normals point outwards, and I have double edges and verts that merge won't fix. URL...

Maya Modeling :: Trumpet - Verts Are All Yellow

Apr 4, 2012

I am trying to model a trumpet in Maya 2012. I took a cylinder and started selected the verts on one side to extrude and they were all yellow. When I extruded and then stretched the new edge to make the bell of the trumpet, it expanded but so did the other edge loops. Also, anytime I try to select a single or multiple verts, others are arbitrarily selected. In terms of a clock, if I select 1 o'clock, the 5 o'clock point will be selected. I don't know why but verts can only be selected symmetrically. This problem is also causing many other stranger control problems that are hard to explain. For example, when I extrude, I can drag out the new face if I use the default extruding moving tool (with the move tool and the scale tool on top of one another), but if I click "w" to get to the move tool like I usually do after I extrude, and drag it out, it completely forgets that the extrude ever happened, and just moves the single edge loop I had before. Every forum I've found said to just click "b" to turn off soft-selection, which fixed the original problem of having my shapes have redish orange edges, but the yellow verts are still there.

Maya Modeling :: Move Sub-objects (verts) Numerically?

Dec 1, 2013

So, when in object mode, I can manually input numbers to translate, rotate, and scale an object - either in the channel box, or in the attribute editor.

But what about subobjects (components) like verts, faces, and edges?

Sure I can move em around with the manipulator, but where can I manually enter in precise numbers?

Maya Modeling :: How To Extrude Edges

Nov 27, 2011

My model loses lambert on only certain faces every so often. Might be related to clicking on camera or trying to extrude certain edges. I want to delete the camera but this happens to the model every time i touch the camera. I can't reapply the lambert by pressing 6 or assigning new material. if you know what's happening.

Maya Modeling :: How To Move The Edges

Jun 5, 2011

I'm creating a face, but what I want is to have whatever happens on the right to happen on the left, instead of clicking each point to move the edges. I tried just cutting the face in half and duplicating, but I don't know how to flip second copy.

Maya Modeling :: Edges Will Not Delete

Feb 13, 2014

I have several edges that will not delete. There are no faces connected, so the edges are suspended in space. I can select any number of edges but when I press delete they just deselect. I don't have more then one line occupying the space, nothing is hidden, and restarting maya hasn't worked.

Maya Modeling :: Aligning Vertices And Edges?

Oct 12, 2011

Is there some way to make the Scale Tool stop when multiple selected verts or edges are aligned, like in Max? I've noticed that you can overshoot when trying to align this way. I suppose there is always snapping to grid..

Maya Modeling :: Selecting Individual Edges

Apr 7, 2013

when I select an edge for example the edges close to it are selected as well and turn yellow and the farther ones turn red and move when I move the edge I selected. I'm pretty sure this a simple problem, like a button I need to toggle, but I seriously can't find it. How do I select individual edges?

EDIT

I found out that this was cancelled by just pressing B.

Maya Modeling :: How To Select Two Edges Or Vertices

Jan 23, 2012

What I'd like to know is whether Maya can do accuracy.

For instance: Is it possible for me to select two edges or vertices and type in an exact distance that I would like to have between them.

Very fine accuracy is not required.

Maya Modeling :: Select ALL The Edges Of A Face?

Oct 5, 2011

i am modeling a cello.... the forward edge of the body frame is a single face. in order to bevel it, i have to select all the edges... there are lots. for reasons that surpass understanding, MAYA does not recognize the edges of a 'corner' to be an edge loop. nor will it retain the selection with a selection mode change as some apps will (ie: select face, change to 'edge select' and have all the edges selected).

is there some simple way to select ALL the edges of a face?

Maya Modeling :: Bridge Tool Does Not Merge Edges?

Dec 27, 2011

It seems the bridge tool does not merge edges as one would expect it to. I realize that the workaround is to follow the bridge operation with a merging of the edges on either side of the bridge. Shouldn't such a common operation be done correctly?

Maya Modeling :: Freezing Or Locking Trim Edges?

Jul 25, 2011

So, say I created a complex 2D curve, then used planar to make a surface with it, and now want to sculpt that surface to add some dimension to it. Is there any way to lock down the trim edges so they stay put? I tried selecting all trim edges, going to the channel box, and selecting Freeze -> All, but this didn't work.

Maya Modeling :: Don't Highlight Edges Of Selected Geometry?

Jan 6, 2014

So, in max there is a way to turn this off.  So that when you select an object the edges are not visible.  That way, when you select and object and have a look at it, you do not have to be distracted by the wire frame.

 Is there a way to do this is Maya?  I'd lke the geo to appear as flat shading without the wireframe visible even when I select it.The reason is, I want to select it, and work on the UV mapping.  I'd like to make some changes to the map, and see how they look on the model without having to deselect the mesh each time I make a change and what to see it without the wireframe.

Maya Modeling :: Smoothing Corners And Edges On Round Surfaces

Jan 18, 2013

I have been trying to figure out if there is a more efficient way of doing this for some time. It seems so basic but it always comes to play in my smoothing process.

For all you more experienced modelers, what is the best way to have the edges and corners stay at their 90 degree angles when smoothing while not compromising the roundness of the surface with artifacting or pinching in the corners. I find this problem when creating extrudes with sharp corners on curved/ round surfaces then smoothing them.

Maya Modeling :: How To Change Default Soften / Harden Edges

Mar 17, 2013

I have been having this problem for a while now that whenever I extrude or create something thats not totally smooth the edges by default are hardened. For example if I create a 12 faced cylinder it will hard edge everything including the verticle edges. Back when I first started using Maya i dont remember having to select specific edges to soften which can get very tedious and take up time.

I feel like there should be some sort of way to harden horizontal edges and soften verticle edges but I cant find the solution anywhere. Is there any way to change the default soften/harden edges?

Will post pictures upon request.

Maya Modeling :: How To Close Nurbs Surface Edges After Trim

Nov 14, 2011

I've been modelling in Maya for less than a day so go easy on me!

I'm in the process of making a traffic light and have got a bit stuck on the shade around the light.

I first made a profile curve and revolved it to get a kind of cup shape. The profile curve double backs on itself so the revolve is not completely flat.

Next I projected a curve onto the side of the revolve to get the wavy shape of the light shade, and trimmed the excess off.

Now I have my lovely traffic light shape, but the ends where the revolve was trimmed are not attached. (Because I double backed the profile curve)

Is there any way I can close up this gap?

(I've attached some screenshots).

Maya Animation :: Painting Weights On 2 Very Small Stubborn Verts?

Sep 18, 2013

I need to paint the weights of two verts to cling to the middle back. These verts are on arrows that are stuck in a quiver. The quiver is painted to one back joint, as are the top of the arrows. However, the tips of the arrows are painted to the clavical.

 I went into the component editor to try to weight them manually to the back, but in the CE, in smooth skins, they are weighted (1.0) to the clav. I know how to weight a vert to different bones if the CE lists them at the top, but since these verts are only weighted to the clav I don't have the option to set the clav weight to 0 and the back joint as 1. And, obviously, I don't know how to manually add the joint I need into the CE to weight it to 1 and kill the influence on the clav to 0. 

I tried massively increasing my clip plane to zoom in, doesn't work. The paint weights brush just will NOT pick these verts up.

3ds Max Modeling :: Polys Black Around Edges

Dec 25, 2011

As I import an OBJ into max (using 2012, but it was the same for previous versions too) I edit the objects and as I delete some edges to refine it, it looks as if I break the object/polygon flow. Black smears appear near edges, none of the polys are black so I don't think it's a normals problem.
