Hi hi
Im fairly new to Maya Scripting.

Im wanting to create a fairly basic User Interface in maya which can create objects (spheres/cubes) from user input (user chosen location and dimension) and also allow the user to chose the angle of the object from the interface.

anyone got any ideas :)?

Hey man
You can use Mel or python or PySide in maya for creating GUI 

But if you mean you want idea about designing your GUI it is better to create some mock-ups on paper then create it with code

Location and angle are vector
Dimension is based on object you want to create

Draw your sketches then you will find a good way

Hi Jeff,

Have a look through this book, it's a good starting point for learning about GUIs and guides you through creating many of them, from the simplest to quite complex.

There's also a Udemy course available, with quite a bit of GUI development.
