Hi everyone,
I'm new to Maya and trying to do some basic modelling for a projection. When I go to extrude a square out of the corner of my ground plane, the tool warps the extrusion shape when I just want it to extrude up into a column.
It's very strange because when I extrude off a plane that isn't subdivided I have no issues. Any advice on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!!
Hi,
Looks like you have Smooth Mesh Preview enabled on your plane.
You can toggle this off in the Attribute Editor
I am assuming you did not mean to enable this as subdivision surface modeling is a bit of an art and there are constraints and techniques that are required to generate good SubD meshes.
