Hello, i am trying to find how can i turn on or off the visibility of normals?
I started yesturday with my maja project (i am noob in maya) but did not find a way to turn on visibility of normals. 
So i can see what way they are facing.

    Select the object you wish to display the normals on.

    Go to Display -> Polygons -> Face Normals/Vertex Normals

    What this is actually doing under the hood is changing your "Mesh component display" attributes on your model. Go to your model's Shape node, go to Mesh Component Display and you'll see "Display Normals" and the type of normal to display.

    Got it working at the  moment. I had to unlock nomals then it started to work.
