3ds Max :: Affect Pivot Change Doesn’t Stay

Aug 22, 2011

I’m using 3dMax 201 64 bit.I made kind of a robotic arm and I linked parts together. Then I changed the Pivot on each pieces of the arms.My problem is that sometimes the change I have made on with “Affect Pivot Only” doesn’t apply.I can see the gizmo of the Affect Pivot but the one that works is the original one. I don’t know why it keeps the old pivot active when I changed it. Sometimes, I click on “Affect pivot only” button and the good pivot comes back active. But doesn’t work every time.

How do I make the good pivot active?

Maya Modeling :: Freeze Function Doesn’t Work

Dec 5, 2011

I'm trying to mirror some geometry in my Maya model of Warrior.I do this by duplication special in X axis. I get the geometry duplicated..but it is also rotated around Z axis.

I don’t want this rotation. I had this problem also before on some other geometry...but I solved it with Freeze geometry. The problem was that the geometry axis system was rotated. I think this is caused whit Mudbox because I was using also Mudbox and I rotated the geometry there.

Now the Freeze function doesn’t work. The axis system is still shifted. How I can set this axis system to the one that is set in Maya? Or duplicate it whit the Axis system set in Maya ?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Image Doesn’t Show Correctly In X-Ray Visual Style

Aug 22, 2013

I inserted an image into my AC drawing. I’m doing a drawing in 3D starting from this image, using solids and regions. When the visual style is set to Realistic I can see the image but when I change to X-Ray all I can see is black and white points instead of the image.

See attached file

Funny thing is that yesterday it was working perfectly, meaning I could see the image in X-Ray mode, but today it doesn’t work! I don’t understand.

I have already made a new drawing, check with other images formats, and it doesn’t work

I'm using AC 2011

3ds Max :: Aligning Co-ordinate System / Pivot

Feb 29, 2012

I have done some reading up on this but the answer is not apparently obvious. I want to do the equivalent of an AutoCAD 3 Point UCS creation in Max.

The attached shows some planar objects with 2mm gaps between them. These are orientated at various angles from XYZ in the World co-ordinate system. I simply want to move some of the vertices in a line along an edge of the parts in order to increase the 2mm gaps slightly.

Q. How do I set up the XYZ so that it matches the parts that I have selected?

I have looked at Affect Pivot/Edit Pivot etc. but there doesn't seem to be an option to choose edges for the XY axes as you would in CAD?

Maya Modeling :: How To Move Pivot Point On Mac

Aug 20, 2013

We are just trying out Maya on the OSX Platform.
 
In the tutorial that we are going through, we are asked to select 2 curves, center the pivot point, and then hit the 'Insert' key to allow us to move the pivot point, and then holding down the 'C' key we should be able to move the pivot point along the curve.
 
Looking around we found that if you hit the 'fn + left arrow' keys you are meant to get the same as using the 'insert' key on the PC, but this is not right, and also when you try to hold down the 'C' key it does not allow the pivot point to be constrained to the curve.
 
So where is the 'Insert' key on the Mac?

Maya Modeling :: How To Zero Out Pivot Point Rotation

Jul 29, 2012

I am puzzled about how to zero out rotation my object's pivot point when I rotate said pivot point using the "insert" key (on a pc). Furthermore, any subsequent object I make after that has its pivot point off just like the first object when I rotate its pivot point. In fact, even when I start a whole new scene, the pivot point rotation of any object is off just like the first time I rotated the first object's pivot point in a previous scene.

Maya :: Modify Pivot Crashing 2012?

The video pretty much explains it. Randomly when I move the pivot (d) and snap to point (v) it crashes on mouse release. This has been happening recently more than is acceptable.

I included about 30 seconds up to the issue to show what exactly I was doing before the crash.

3ds Max Animation :: Multiple Pivot Points Per Object?

Dec 23, 2011

I've got several objects that require multiple Pivot Points per object or per Group of Objects.

As close as I've come to solving this was a local movement wire parameter effecting local pivot of another object, however, it pivots the wrong direction (clockwise instead of counter clockwise)

It would be nice to just be able to apply a secondary pivot point for an object natively in 3ds max.

I've read, you can do this with IK solver and a pin constraint. However, I'm using 2012 and I do not see pin constraint in my options.

3ds Max :: How To Set Pivot Point Of Eyes To Be At The Center Of Their Meshes

Feb 14, 2012

I have a character model I got from the Evolver site before it went offline.

I need to set the pivot point of the eyes to be at the center of their meshes so I can use it in Face Robot.

I do this by clicking on the eye object and "Affect Pivot Only", "Center to Object". This works but when I export the model as FBX the moment the export has finished my eyes have both jumped to the the floor and my pivot is still in the correct place. When I import the FBX into Softimage I see the eyes are now on the floor. I also have the same when I try to do the pivot point in Softimage [URL]....I am a competent modeller however a begginer when it comes to Autodesk's software. Is their some property on the model that could make it peform liek this, does it have something to do with the bones/skining?

i have spent the last 2 days trying to move an eye balls origin

have a question regarding audio float on an object:

some objects react from a certain point with sound by just using a simple box in height for an example...it grows in the height from bottom start point...but if i use the width the movement is going into 2 directions instead of 1 ...i tried to move the pivot but it has no effect....is there a way to tell the reaction he has an another start point ?

Photoshop :: Adjust Pivot Center Of Object To Anywhere In Space?

Apr 2, 2013

Inside 3D Studio max, its possible to adjust the pivot center of an object to anywhere in space. So if for example, I've got a sphere in my scene and I want to have a bunch of cones spin around the center of the sphere (to create the basic shape of a sun graphic) I can just change the cone's pivot to be in the exact center of the sphere and then when I rotate and copy the cone, they will all be perfectly centered around the sphere.
 
Tying to do this in Photoshop however is proving rather difficult. Since the triangle representing the sun's rays is smaller than the circle representing the sun, I can't move the traingle's pivot to match the center of the sun because the bounding box for the transform isnt  big enough.

If I duplicate the sun and merge the triangle and the sun together, the merge action re-adjusts the pivot to be in the center of both objects so its no longer in the correct center of the circle. I can however move the pivot point to the approximate location now because the bounding box is larger, but I don't need the approximate location, I need the exact location.
 
Is there a way to move the pivot to a specific coordinate? Or am I going to have to move everything onto a perfectly square canvas and snap everything to grid lines?

Maya Modeling :: How To Disable Component Use Object Pivot

Mar 11, 2009

I've been using Maya for over a year and I've starting seeing some weird error. In edit mode, I select a couple of verts. I can transform, rotate, and scale the verts relative to the selection's center. However, recently whenever I want to scale my selected verts the scaling origin goes to the center of the object instead of the selection. This becomes somewhat irritating since it doesn't give the expected results. I've included a few pictures demonstrating my problem.

Revit :: Rotating - Making The Pivot Point Not Movable?

Aug 2, 2013

im having trouble with a rotational object. I Basically made a basketball system in the category of specialty equipment. i made several different families in the same category and have nested one big family in specialty equipment.. I then loaded the nested family into a Generic face base template and change the caegory to specialty  equipment, after completeing the steps i then loaded it into another family that is just specialty equipment. My problem is that, im either getting constraint problems when i set up my angular dimension parameter and try changing it's angle or when i do get it to change angles the pivot point keeps moving around...The main point is how do i get my pivot point to stay still and have my angle parameter change without errors?
