    I recenetly got Maya (and yes-- im a noob at it :eek: ), and was just checking out the different menus/options in it. So i closed some [actually all of themX(] of the shelves and was jsut wondering if anyone knew how to re-open them. I thought there would be a windows panel like in photoshop :( any hel would be appreciated! :)

    Thanks in advance

    How exactly did you close them? Did you delete them?

    Well... nevermind... To reopen the default shelves...

    1. Open the Script Editor (Window > General Editors > Script Editor).
    2. To load all shelves, copy the following and paste it into the Script Editor window, then select Script > Execute. (Select only some shelves from the list below if you do not want to load them all by default.)

    loadNewShelf "shelf_General.mel";
    loadNewShelf "shelf_Curves.mel";
    loadNewShelf "shelf_Surfaces.mel";
    loadNewShelf "shelf_Polygons.mel";
    loadNewShelf "shelf_Subdivs.mel";
    loadNewShelf "shelf_Deformation.mel";
    loadNewShelf "shelf_Animation.mel";
    loadNewShelf "shelf_Dynamics.mel";
    loadNewShelf "shelf_Rendering.mel";
    loadNewShelf "shelf_Cloth.mel";
    loadNewShelf "shelf_Fluids.mel";
    loadNewShelf "shelf_Fur.mel";
    loadNewShelf "shelf_Hair.mel";
    saveAllShelves $gShelfTopLevel;

    Got all that? Hope this helps :).

    Can you do a screenshot of what your screen looks like now (with your shelves closed) so I can get a better look at what you did?

    If you don't know how, just hit PrintScreen and upload it.

    Err... OK - I guess I'll re-evaluate the problem - you're not just missing shelves, you're missing everything...

    OK:

    1. Go into "Display > UI Elements"
    2. Make it look like this:

    And everything should be back!
    Hope this helps :).

    Um...
    I know how to take a screen shot but how do you take shots of specific windows like this...
    i've been trying to find out how to do this for a long time...

    Or use SnagIt :).
    www.techsmith.com

    Or, using print screen, if it is an enitre window you want to take a screenshot of, and not the entire desktop you can hold down "Alt" whilst pressing PrintScreen,
