any way to locate/highlight 5 sided polygons?

Hello,

A model I'm working on apparently has two 7 sided polygons and I was wondering if there was an option within maya to highlight polygons with more then 4 sides to make finding them easier. Thanks again!

You can do this with the Polygon Cleanup tool (under the Polygons menu in Maya 7). You need to change the Operation (in the tool options box) from Select and Cleanup to just Select Geometry. Then, under Tesselate Geometry, check on Faces with more than 4 sides. That should do it for you :)
