Append To Polygon?

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone, 

I'm new to maya - I'm modeling for fun and because I'll do an animation school- I'd like to do a unicorn. When I'm using the Append on Polygon tool the edges on a missing face are shining, but when I click to it, nothing happen. My normals are ok, I already check it, my mouse is ok, I don't know what should I do. Please, can someone can help me ? 

Karl.

Hi!

In Browser

1. Attachments -> Browse

2. Select/open/choose File

3. Post message

Try to Zip the file before upload if it doesn't work.

I check what you told me but when I go to the scene file, and go to edits, there are nothing, is it normal?

Hi!

No, there is no maya scene in this ZIP file.

Sorry, that was not the good file. This is scene file.

Hi!

The scene is not like in your screenshot, so i deleted some faces, but  Append To Polygon Tool works fine.

Maybe it's a problem with your tool:

1. Try Reset Tool

2. Try a reset of your preferences.
Rename the folder prefs in folder 2018 to something like prefs_backup, or to reset everything, the folder 2018 to 2018_backup (or even the maya folder to maya_backup). Maya creates new folders (don't copy preferences from previous Maya versions). Detailed at:

maybe a problem with GPU:

1. Make sure you use a proper 3D graphic card for Maya.
2. Update graphic card drivers.
3. Try different Viewport modes (like DirectX).

Hi again, 

I reset the prefs folder and it works perfectly. Thanks for your help. 

I have a good gc so that couldn't be a problem on my gc and my drivers are ok.

I'me thankful to you. 

Bye !

Hi Sir, 

I renamed the prefs file but maya didn't create a  new folder. Is it normal ?

Thanks for your patience, 

Karl.

Hi!

No it's not. Try re-naming the root folder (like "2018" for Maya 2018 or even the parent folder of that "maya", this should reset everything.
