The Bevel tool is perfect for smoothing an object, or part of an object.
Merge allows you to merge 2 objects together, not much more to say!
Useful when creating against a reference image, you’ll only need to model half of the object (assuming it has symmetry)
The extrude tool is considered one of the most powerful tools in Maya, Can be used to extrude faces, edges and vertices (Best used on faces).
The standard basic shapes are referred to as “Primitives”, including Cube, Cylinder, Sphere.
