Basic Modeling Questions

IndirectMethod

Hello everyone. i would first like to introduce myself. I have been modeling in 3DS Max for about five years now and I am now switching to Maya because the school I am about to be attending only teaches Maya. I haven't started class yet, but I would like to become familiar with Maya before I do start. The switch of software is quite frustrating for me so far.

So, here's the deal. I am trying to figure out how to detach the selected faces from the object. How do I go about doing that?

but you will have tons of small issues like this. i would try to look it up first..you get faster response and maybe learn st different along the search..

maybe this helps
