Rebuild Surface - Help Please

[watson421]

I am working on the Intro to Maya DVD where you build the Jet Bike. Excellent DVD by the way. But the problem I am having is when I get to the part where you create the fender. I create the NURBS cylinder needed, add the spans, pull some vertices and then go to click the Rebuild Surface function, after putting in the correct numbers and the cyclinder disappears. I tried this with several other shapes, cubes, cones and spheres, and it works fine with the cube, but all the others it disappears.

Have I got the incorrect settings when I go to create a cylinder? I am stuck on this part, and need a bit of help to past it.

Thanks.

Did you del. history prior to rebuilding?

I haven't tried that yet, but will be the first thing I do when I get home from work. Thanks for the response.

No dice. I tried deleting the history, then I get an error message that says "Rebuild surface failed on the current valid selection." I am not sure what that means. Could there be something wrong with my software? I am up to date on all updates...Anyone with any thoughts??
