Feb 24, 2012I am trying to rotate 30 degrees along an axis.
In Rhino, it is simply using Rotate3D -> pick your axis of rotation -> type degrees -> enter
In Max, how do I pick an axis rather than world XYZ?
I'll upload pictures for details
3ds Max Modeling :: Edge Is Locked On Axis
Oct 25, 2013Using 2010. I'm trying to move an edge on the Z axis, but for some reason it refuses to go that way--nothing happens when I try dragging it down, and dragging it up causes it to go forward on the Y axis. This happened when I pressed something wrong on my keyboard I think. Resetting, restarting the program, etc doesn't work.
A few questions:
- How do I fix this?
- How did this even happen? When I Google ways to lock vertices/edges/etc, people are saying it can't be done.
Maya Modeling :: Rotation Axis To Parent
Feb 28, 2013I'm trying to find a way to have an object's rotation axis match it's parent's. In Softimage, this can be done with Freeze Rotation Transform (or some similarly named command), and it will reorient the pivot axis to the parent's. Trying to find Maya equivalent.
It's not important that it match it's parents transform. If there is a way to have an object match any other object's rotation axis, yet maintain vertex positions in world space, that's just as good.

Maya Modeling :: Cannot Select Axis Rotation
Aug 30, 2011I am currently following the getting started guide for Maya 2011 and I have come to a portion where it is required to use the Extrude tool to extend a part of the helmet.(page 100 : Polygonal Modeling / Lesson 1 / Extruding polygon components)
Everything is fine up to this instruction 5 Click the large circle that surrounds the manipulator to display the rotate manipulators and then drag the green circular manipulator to rotate the angle of the extrusion to match the angle in the reference sketch (see image) and then drag the arrow manipulator a second time to extrude a second section of mesh.
The actual problem: On my scene, when I click the circle that surrounds the manipulator, the 3 axis' rotate handles appear,but they disappear as soon as I release the mouse button (It is the same behavior if I move and if I do *not* move the mouse before releasing).
3ds Max Modeling :: Move And Snap Vertex Along Axis
Aug 16, 2011I have read that this feature was removed(??) in 2011. How to do it in 2012?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Automatically Project X-axis / Z-axis Or Z-axis Onto Sketch Plane?

Maya Modeling :: How To Freeze Transformations To Local Axis
Oct 6, 2011Take a sphere, transform it in both location and rotation. Now you want to make it's new transform and rotation zeroed out so so that it still rotates around it's local axis but all its base values are zero. If you just freeze transforms, it puts everything to zero around the world axis not the local axis. This is not what I want. I want to be zeroed around the local axis.

Maya Modeling :: Size Of Manipulating Axis Are Very Small
Aug 19, 2013I'm trying to get use to it.But I just have the problem that somehow the axis are all very small.
Like the axis when I want to move, rotate, scale,... sth.
And the size stays, no matter if I dolly, therefore it's sometimes difficult to click the right axis.
3ds Max Modeling :: Scale A Group Of Polygons In Their Local Axis?
Jul 6, 2013how do I scale a group of polygons in their local axis? I have seen people doing this fine in Maya.
I have attached an image that explain this clearly. It's a simple cylinder, extruded and when I scale the extruded polygons in local x axis, they get scaled in crazy different axes.
Maya Modeling :: Move Camera To Z Axis - Z Handle Gets Selected
Dec 20, 2013My rotate tool in maya seems to be "locked" i can't freely rotate whenever i left click hold the center and it only rotates where my viewport is looking at so if im at the X axis I can't rotate the Z axis. Tried setting my preferences to default and nothing. I've also set my rotate tool to default.
Whenever I move my camera say to the Z axis the Z handle gets selected and same when I move the camera to the X axis.
Maya Modeling :: Change Display Size Of Local Rotation Axis
Apr 1, 2010Is it possible to change the display size of the local rotation axis?
I'm trying to visually align the local rotation axis for joints with geometry that isn't always world axis aligned. I've searched on different forums as well as searches on "topeka" (google ), and I've come up with nothing so far.
Maya Modeling :: Can't Change Or Adjust Number Of Subdivisions
Apr 23, 2010So im working on this project were im modeling a ceiling, anyways I can not change or adjust the number of subds after i create the object. Lets say a create a simple cube with just 1x1x1 i can not change that after i created it... I just cant get to that menu when i click on the shape it only lets me rename it nothing else. Ive attached a screen shot.

I create a cylinder and i want to rotate it by longitudinal axis. i click 'components', select the cylinder and after i click 'position' to select the axis that axis system appears in the right side of the cylinder not in the middle. If i continue whit this settings the cylinder will rotate by a circle not by his longitudinal axis. How can i move that axis sistem in the middle of the cylinder? I can drag it but can't place it exactly in the middle.

Jan 25, 2013I'm rigging a shoulder pad to a biped and I'd like it to only rotate on one axis. Google hasn't been that useful, and I hope I don't need scripting for this kind of minor thing. I'm rather new to 3Ds Max Design but I'm learning fast and liking it so far!
I've attached what I want to effectively accomplish. I'm looking for a way to lock the z-axis of the object with the upper arm's z-axis.

However, this workflow is very different from the conventional methods of modeling individual parts and manually constraining assemblies. URLs....

View 1 Replies View Related3ds Max Modeling :: Modeling Buildings In Organic Forms
Feb 7, 2011I'm an architecture student who has high interest in 3d modeling.I would like to learn how to design something in a very organic form for a change.I can model very accurately and fast what I need on Autocad most of the time, but it seems like autocad 3d modeling is not the best tool to be using for modeling something very curvy and random.
Some Examples: [URL] .....
So Basically, I want to be able to first sculpt the general exterior form I have sketched out or in my mind, and not only that, I would like to model the interior portions so I can have renders from inside the building. (Like the ons from the examples)
Although in architecture, 3D modeling comes into play after the 2d drafting, I don't think it's the same case for organic shapes. I would have a general layout sketched out on paper how the building would be formed, but not necessarily accurately measured. Then I would model the building to cut the sections through, and extract them out along with floor plans thus creating a very accurate orthographic drawings as well as gorgeous renders.or just poly edit with soft selection and other modifiers?

Then I am going to have a blueish object pass thru the mortar to show water penetrating the mortar. Or something like that. I can't use a material to represent the look because I need to have an object pass thru it.
