Main window
This section is a brief summary of Maya’s main interface. As you read, keep in mind the following:
- You can show or hide any of the UI elements in the main window using the Display > UI Elements menu.
- You can also hide a UI element by clicking the hide button to the left
of or above
the UI element. To show a UI element, press
on another hide button and select the desired UI element from the pop-up menu.
- You can hide all the interface elements and instead use Maya’s quick command features: the Hotbox, Marking Menus, and hotkeys.
- A menu icon
appears to the right of the mouse pointer when a right mouse button pop-up menu is available for the control over which the mouse is hovering.

- Change the menu set
