Hi guys, I just purchased Maya LT. I am running it on Windows 8.1. I have followed guides for symmetrical modelling and just cannot seem to get it to work properly.
When I create a cube and select the faces on one side and delete them, I duplicate special next. The created object is then black, it's annoying and I do not know why. Then I try to preserve the seam and it will not work. I do not know why, it worked on my educational version of Maya 2015.
So then I tried the new and improved modelling toolbar, clicked an edge and then selected the symmetry button. I am not allowed to move the vertices on that edge left or right. I tried to work around it, then my model just magically stopped modelling with symmetry.
Any tips? What am I doing wrong here? It has been extremely frustrating and I don't know what to do.
Thanks!
