N00b Maya question.
Does Maya have some kind of predictive selection thing?
I go into Vertex selection mode, drag select some verts, and Maya goes 'Oh, you dragged over a bone too! That must mean you wanted to select only the bone right?' Fuck no i didn't want to select that bone at all damn it.
Put bones, controls and mesh in separate layers.
Hide or switch to reference on the bones layer
Stop being a little bitch because you don't understand a software right away
Use google and the maya documentation
These will prevent you from selecting various objects when disabled.
The left and second on the left are IKs and Joints.
Maya does indeed have a selection hierarchy and it is extremely useful.
it is still good practice to separate your mesh, lights, joints, and control rig to individual display layers though.
