How do you stop a Maya operation?

Phattee

Hello, sometimes I underestimate the amount of time it will take Maya to do do something, like a bevel, and the little wheel will just spin round and round and round. Are there any keys I can press to just cancel the whole thing?

I know you can cancel a render by hitting escape, not sure if that works on other operations though.

Escapse is the only way I know of. Though sometimes it will take a long time for that to actually work, if it ever does, it doesn't work for all things.

Sometimes you have to hit escape lots of times(vray renders) and other times you can't cancel at all. It either takes a long time or it never ends... I usually save before doing operations I know are risky.

Get a young Priest and an old Priest. it's basically those steps away from preforming an exorcism.

^ That. Be prepared to "pull the plug" on potentially lengthy operations.
