Need Help, coming from 2014 to 2017

[Anonymous]

Hey everyone! I'll cut right to the chase. Im coming from an older version of Maya to 2017. Im also a novice in general with Maya. I'm trying to select a vertex after converting a polygon to subdiv. However every time i try to select a vertices it returns to object mode. How can i select a vertices after subdiv?

Hi!

Change Mode/View from "Standard" to "Polygon".

But i recommend not to use Maya Subdivision surface anymore (no further development since years), use smooth Mesh (Preview) instead.

As mspeer said Change Mode/View from "Standard" to "Polygon", or change viewport renderer from VP 2.0 to Legacy Default Viewport.

But subdiv is not a good choice.
