Hello all!

I am a new forum member and new to Maya as well. in order to get a head start on my next class, I bought the book: Introducing Maya 2011 by Dariush Derakhshani and have been following along with the tutorial projects within.

The issue I am having is probably a silly noob thing, but I can't get the selection handles (for polygon faces) to show up on a simple polygon sphere. I can see the handles on the corners of individual faces, but not the handles that are supposedly in the center of each face.

I have tried going to Display > Transform Display > Selection Handles but nothing happens. I have tried this while selecting the sphere with options under both "Select by Object Type" and "Select by Component Type" with no results. What am i doing wrong?

I am running Maya 2011 on a Macbook Pro on OSX.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

I think what your looking for is -
Display-polygons-Face Centers.
