Unable to select polygon objects

[muppskaft]

I have recently changed from 3ds max to Maya and I've ran into a selection problem when it comes to primitive polygon objects, I guess Ive really missed something and that its probably quite easy to solve. Does anyone
have a clue of why I cant select any polygon primitives?? it works with nurbs obj., curves and everything else...
I have played around with the "select by object type" button, but without any success.
The only way I can select the polygon primitive objects is to either rightclick+select all, and then deselect everything but the pol. object - or - use the outliner.
I would be grateful if someone can help me out!

Regards

hi martin

we also have just started moving from max to maya.
have you looked in the top bar of selection masks, when you're in object mode, are all the buttons highlighted?

under 'select by object type:surfaces' button, when you right click do you see that 'poly surfaces' is checked?

i dont have much experience with maya, but that's all i can think of.
hope it helps

Are you using a gvx1? There were problems with the previous round of drivers and poly objects... try updating to the latest drivers if that's the case.

Hello conrad,
all the buttons under the "select by object type" are selected, and all options are marked for them when I right click on each button(including poly surfaces yes =). This seems really really weird, since It should work, right?
Anyways, ill try some more, and get back again when I solve it, if I do...

Cya!

hello matt,
im using the oxygen vx1 card, latest drivers for NT. But perhaps this is the problem.
I'll try install an older driver and see if it works better.
Thanks!

Keep your current VX1 driver, and set this environment variable in your maya.env file:

MAYA_NO_VERTEX_ARRAY_SELECT =1

10 PRINT "kemijo is the best"
20 GOTO 10

RUN
