Pruple vertex second problems

[chrisjwedmund549]

I’ve just started modelling and I’ve screwed up for some reason there are dots all over the objects green squares, I don’t know how but the vertex’s have become purple and I’ve done something to the manipulator tool and you can see the result in the second screen shot,

I use maya 2012 (had it for years just picking up again)

Please help I'm trying to build cg sets for a star trek fan flim

Hi!

Sorry, i don't understand the problem.

Unselected vertices are purple and

selected vertices are yellow.

Maya selection modes:

Hi!

Sorry i don't understand the problem.

In one view you switched to component mode (vertices) and in the other screenshot you moved a face.

This is all basic Maya stuff.

Select, move,....

Please check the Maya online help for further information about how to use Maya

Hi!

Please just read the docs it's all there.

Here just check the second video:

https://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2019/ENU/?guid=GUID-5C5F2B9B-BE16-4C49-B72B-70EA7CB4C688

About your cylinder, if you select something and move it, it's moved that's all.

You can find more Videos only by searching for Maya basics or Maya beginner .
