Maya Grouping Problem

nosyT

Hi! I seem to be getting this continuing problem while making and creating polygon primitives in maya. I create the object, but right off the bat it's stuffed in it's own group. While it seems insignificant, it makes organizing and parenting difficult, being it manipulates the child object in a way that's not...wanted. Anybody had this problem?

I have tried deleting my history over and over, and have deleted any previous preferences out of my my maya folder, yet it still continues. The object is the child in the case, and is parented to an empty object. I cannot unparent the child polygon in this case, being it has no preferences(such as location, size, ect.) It's all stuffed in this empy object it's parented to right from the beginning. Pictures to follow soon.

Thanks!

I'm guessing your issue is: Outliner > Display > Shapes

Wow. It's always the little things that get you. Thank you so much! That did the trick!

Just for your future reference, that "empty group" is not just some other Maya group, it's your mesh's transform data.

That makes sense now, and explains why I couldn't detach the mesh from it. Again, thank you, you saved me a fair amount of frustration.
