Hey,
Orite im doing the ford focurs tutorial, Im up to "Page 7" " Step 29"

http://www.3dm-mc.com/tutorials/maya/car3/index7.php

it says : Now select the edges and extrude them. Scale them in and the extrude again then move them down.

Orite I went to Modify> Extrude. I got it right then i have no idea what he means by scale them in and extrude again.

Maybe some one could Shed some light on my problem

My next problem is the Wheel part.

http://www.3dm-mc.com/tutorials/maya/car2/

Now revolve the surface (Surfaces > Revolve) in the X axis and you should have
something like this.

I have no idea what this means well i do when i do it it dont work can please some one tell me how do i do this because i have no idea what numbers or digites to put in can some one please take a screen shots of he revole option box and post it here.

Once again thanks and i hope you guys help me out.

What Stryker is doing in those steps is refining the front bumper. He is using Split Polygon Tool (Edit Polygons > Split Polygon Tool) to splice or cut as you would say in 3ds max the polygons into halves. Thus adding Vertices.

Then he pulls the new vertices out a bit to create the bumper lines and detail.
