Maya 6 PLE problems

T_Reynolds

I'm learning Maya and have started texturemapping. I notice that in the UV texture editor I can't right-click and select UVs.

Anyone else have this problem with the PLE, and how do they work around it?

I think F12 is the default key for toggling into UV vertex mode... failing that it should be one of the other F5-F11 keys.

I get this from time to time if I have a tool selected that the UV editor doesn't like (pretty much anything that isn't one fo the three basic transform tools) or sometimes when I've selected UVs on the model rather than in the UV editing window.

Like most of Maya, it's all a little unpredictable, but it shouldn't be too hard to get them working again if these are your problems.

It's actually completely *predictable*.
If you have a tool selected other than a transformation tool, just click back to a transformation tool to be able to right click select UV's again.

Many thanks for the help; F12 did the trick.

When I deselected the faces on the model, the texturemap went away, poof.
