I'm new to Maya (but have worked in Blender before) and have ran into the issue above. It occurs with the rotate and scale tools as well - it feels like the object it anchored to something and instead of moving my selected face along an axis, the entire object gets transformed. It doesn't occur with other tools, like extrude. I've already reset my preferences but that doesn't seem to help. I'd love any advice I can get because I'm really trying to learn the software.
