Maya Questions coming from Blender
Hi I am a Blender modeler and I am trying to learn Maya.
I could be an idiot, but there are 2 things in Maya I have not been able to figure out how to do and its driving me crazy.
Question 1) How to extrude a verticie from a polygon such that only the verticie and edge are created.
In blender its simply done by clicking on the verticie and pressing extrude.
However when I extrude in Maya, 3 faces are created
How can I extrude a vertex in maya such that only a new vertex and edge are created?
Question 2) How do I create a polygon from a gap in 3 or 4 verticies?
In Blender I would just select 3 or 4 vertcies and click "F" for face.
In Maya It's not clear in the sea of menus where this is done. Hopefully its as quick as blenders hotkey.
Please let me know thank you.

(you can have floating verts and cap that into a polygon in Max but imo it's not something that useful I'd miss if I couldn't, so I can sort of understand being weirded out you can't have verts, but floating edges? that's weird blender voodoo to me)
There is going to be a better way to do what ever you wanted to achieve instead of starting off with "illegal" geometry like an edge with no face.
The closest you can get is creating a spline/curve.
