Re: Help a maya newbie plz!
Occasionally accidental "activation" of other models happens to me but it's stored in undo history so a simple Z stroke to undo keeps my work flow going mostly uninterrupted. If none of the things already suggested help your problem, it might be something you'll just end up having to work around. *shrug* I personally use… -
