Thanks for clearing that up. At least I know I'm not doing it wrong. That youtube clip has "the workaround" demonstrated. It's clear that this is just ingrained in the Maya users workflow. I asked a few around me how to do what I needed to do and everyone just looked confused.
Needs to have a "make it work like Softimage" mode. One new things I saw in that tutorial was the Snap Together Tool. That's pretty cool. Will definitely be using that.
