Hello

I use maya 8 unlimited. I just wanted to know, how do i extrude different shapes from an object? for example, if i wanted to extrude a circular shape from a square, can this actually be done?
Or do I have to actually model the separate object and then attach it?

thanks

Extrude just uses the shapes of the faces the currently exist on the mesh.  So from a cube, extrude can’t give you a circle.  Modeling separately and attaching will work better for you.  Try the polygon boolean tools (Mesh -> Booleans -> Union).
