To ensure the lesson works as described, do these steps before beginning:

1. Open the scene file named TableCloth.ma.

   This file can be found in the GettingStarted directory that you set as your Maya project:

   GettingStarted/nCloth/TableCloth.ma

   This scene includes textured models that have been created for you. The table cloth, table, table base, floor, and wall models provided are all polygon meshes.
