Main window

This section is a brief summary of Maya’s main interface. As you read, keep in mind the following:

• You can show or hide any of the UI elements in the main window using the Display > UI Elements menu.
• You can also hide a UI element by clicking the hide button to the left of or above the UI element. To show a UI element, press on another hide button and select the desired UI element from the pop-up menu.
• If you can’t find the menu you’re looking for, it may be hidden. You can show or hide menus using the menu hotkeys. For more information see Maya Hotkeys.
• You can hide all the interface elements and instead use Maya’s quick command features: the Customize the hotbox, Marking menus, and Maya Hotkeys.
• A menu icon appears to the right of the mouse pointer when a right mouse button pop-up menu is available for the control over which the mouse is hovering.
