I created a tutorial that explains what are components in 3d modelling within Maya, and how to switch rapidly between these component types. But also on how to make some component selection tips and techniques.
Have a look on this free educational video on how to use Maya.
For any other introduction tutorials on how to use maya feel free to come to my channel at youtube.com.
With time the tutorials will improve with quality as I make more content. Feel free to subscribe!
