I am currently learning how to build weapons in Maya. Currently following tutorials on the basics of it and i constructed the handle on the pistol i am creating. In the tutorial, he uses a edge split tool and of course it just doesnt work for me. SO i continue following and because i didnt use it, i get shitted on the farther i go into the project. Also the scale tools and what not just dont want to work on certain faces and googling it just tells me nothing. I want to model guns for my map but ive been at this for  days and it's either finding someone who can help me somewhere in the autodesk forums or i'm just going to give up (it's not THAT big of a deal but i just want to model guns for my map). Anyone else here get mad issues with Maya? I feel like im the only one.

I've been using Maya everyday for the last 6 months so I might know a thing or 2 .
I personally am not good at working with screenshots and trying to articulate what might be your problem, so I suggest you add my skype: mkramrt. I could probably help you out a bit.

Alright man thank you . I do not have a Skype though anymore (deleted it because my passwords were always apparently wrong when I had the right one lol) but I do have hangouts. If you have a hangouts I could add you on there
