when i make a cube, and then use the split polygon tool to make 2 new vertices in the new cube to make 2 squares out of one face of the cube and then go to SPLIT VERTEX then use to extrude face key, it doesnt have a gap between both sides when i split them apart even though i split up the vertices.

im trying to follow the Polygonal Modeling to make a hammer, a tutorial that came with Maya 7 and i followed it exactly, but i cant get the gap to come ( i did once before but i dont know how i did it, i did it exactly like it said to and it worked) but lately it hasnt been working

Any help would be appreciated.

nevermind, it turns out i was doing everything right, but i didnt read it right. I had to drag the manipulator tool arrow inward instead of outward.
thanks anyways

Does anyone know how to save as diffrent formats? because when i go to FILE>SAVE SCENE AS you can only save it as a mb, or something similar that only MAYA can open.

Any help, i know its a dumb question but its stumping me and i read everything about saving scenes

You mean, when you try to move a face, it brings it's neighbor along with it kinda, well to fix that, make an extra span going down blocking it off, I'd suggest you use extrude face as a method of preventing that, it'll just pop the face out. Hopefully that helped you. Good luck.
