This exercise gives a quick tour of how to work in the Channel Box:
1. Create a new scene in Maya, and create a NURBS Sphere on the grid (Create  NURBS
Primitives  Sphere). You’ll be prompted to draw the sphere on the grid if Interactive
Creation mode is on; if not, the sphere will appear at the center of the grid. Either option
is fine.
2. Make sure the Channel Box is visible on the right side of the screen. To do this, click the
icon at the farthest right of the status bar (shown in Figure 1.14). This is a toggle to display
the Channel Box. Click it until the Channel Box appears, as in Figure 1.16.

to quickly switch
between the Chan-
