3ds Max Modeling :: Can't Rotate Native Objects

May 22, 2009

I can't rotate anything in 3ds Max anymore. The only way I've found is to go via the hierarchy pivot box (left hand menu), which isn't much of a workaround.

The rotate gizmo appears, the pie slice appears, angle numbers change when I drag but nothing moves. Is there a quick way of resetting 3ds to defaults? I presume I've switched something on or off that I shouldn't have!

I can rotate merged objects, just not native ones. I grouped a lorry with a box (I wanted to put a logo on the box for the side of the lorry) - when I rotated the lorry, the box stayed put!

3ds Max Modeling :: How To Rotate 30 Degrees Along An Axis

Feb 24, 2012

I 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 :: Get A Cube To Rotate Around Rotation System Of A Sphere?

Mar 9, 2012

I'm using 3DS Max 2012 and am trying to get a cube to rotate around the rotation system of a sphere sitting near by so that the cube looks like it's orbiting the sphere. The problem is that when I go to the coordinates menu and click on Pick, I select the sphere, but the rotation gizmo is still around the cube.

Here's a screenshot to show you what I mean.

See how the sphere is where the coordinates are suppose to be, but they are still around the cube?

How do I make this get around the sphere?

Maya Modeling :: Rotate Edge But Only Move Affected Vertices?

Nov 17, 2012

I am trying to model the following simple structure:

I made this example by creating a new polygonal cylinder, rotating the top edges that are to the right of the x-axis and repositioning the affected vertices afterwards, but doing it that way just doesnt feel right, it seems too unclean to me.

I would like the affected vertices to only move on a given axis when rotating the edges, so I dont need to reposition them after the rotate operation. I tried to illustrate what I mean in the following screenshot:

The edges I want to rotate are marked in red, the vertices that are supposed to only move on the y-axis are marked in green. The arrows indicate the desired movement.

Is this way of rotating an edge possible with the rotate tool or something?

Maya Modeling :: Rotate Tool Is Grey And Rescaling Object?

Jun 25, 2012

1. When I use the rotate manipulator the rotated object scales up in the world Y axis warping the object when rotating. In a prior step I scaled the object in the Y axis. I scaled the object while the tool was set to local. However I've done many times before but never had this issue. I've deleted history, cleanup, etc but nothing works. The channel box shows all scales are at 1. To test the manipulator, I created a cube and rotated it but the cube didn't scale so it must be something with the object itself.

The pictures show the scaling in relation to the rotate tool. I zoomed to place the object exactly within the inner ring. You'll see it grows when rotated.

2. The rotate manipulator is grey or partially grey. The tool works so it's not a locked channel. Since both issues happened at the same time I'm thinking they are related.

3. I can't get the X/Y grid to show on the front view. The grid is enabled on the panel and in the preferences. The front view, shows the plane of the X/Z grid. The side view shows the Y/Z grid. The top view show the X/Z grid.

Maya Modeling :: How To Extrude Multiple Faces And Get Them To Rotate Along The Center Of Object

Dec 30, 2012

I'm trying to extrude multiple faces, and then get them to rotate along the center of the object so that they can all sort of have the same angle radiating from the center. In the picture, the one on the top Left is my starting point. I would like to rotate those faces, for example, so that they will all be flat (picture on Right which I achieved through vert snapping to grid) but the only results I can produce are the 2 small pictures on the bottom. =(

Is this possible?

Maya Modeling :: Unable To Check X-ray?

Jun 15, 2013

I am new to Maya, and I have just started to learn modeling. I am trying to check X-Ray from "Shading" in my side view so I can model against a drawing that's on a plane. However the X-Ray option does not look active - it is gray while the rest of the Shading list is in black - and does not let me check the checkbox. 
 
I am trying to follow the Lynda Maya 2013 Essentials video, if you are familiar with it.

Nov 9, 2007

I'm trying to make a door. But my door making tool now starts making the width, y direction in my perspective window instead of in the x direction. I'm using snap to vertex, but it still wants to go the way it wants to. It worked at first, but now now. Any thoughts on what might have changed?

Maya Modeling :: Unable To Select Face Of A Polygon

Aug 27, 2012

I have attached a picture of what it continues to do when I attempt to select a face of this polygon I revolved from a cv curve tool line. Accidentally copied dual screen. I have been running into countless problems while trying to manipulate this revolved surface like a polygon but there is something stopping me. How do I just select an edge or a face without the entire thing lighting up with yellow dots and not actually selecting anything! I try to hold shift and click other faces but that doesn't work either!

If I could somehow delete the action of revolving a line to treat the independent tessellations as one uniform polygon. I am very new to this program and I don't know where history might be.

3ds Max Modeling :: Unable To Select Faces When Using Unwrap UVW Modifier

Jul 25, 2013

I am using 3ds max 2014 and have not been able to select faces when using the Unwrap UVW modifier. My only choices are vertex, edge and polygon. I've tried to use flatten mapping with polygons instead of faces, but I'm not getting the results I want that way.

I've made sure that everything is converted to editable poly. I've re-imported everything to see if that changes anything, and still nothing. I'm attaching a screenshot of my unwrap uvw rollout in case that's useful.

Maya Modeling :: Unable To Create Poly After Delete History

Jan 27, 2012

I created a very simple two poly object and then deleted my construction history and now I cannot seem to create a new polygon in the scene unless I turn off interactive creation.

If I choose create>sphere etc the little sign that says drag on grid appears but when I do nothing happens. I made a new scene and did the same thing and I don't have the same problem so Im not sure why in this particular scene.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Unable To Find Suitable Modeling Method For Part

Nov 28, 2012

Please see attached image (I have tried to attach the part file but file size is to large to upload). I have created a sheet metal part, then converted to a solid component to utilize the bend tool. The actual part will need to overlap at the ends and will be joined using spot welds. I would like to be able to illustrate the overlap in the inventor model if possible but how to achieve this.

Before I call it a day and revert to AutoCAD or sketch this into a IDW,

AutoCAD Inventor :: Merits Of Layout Modeling Or Multi-Body Part Modeling?

Nov 16, 2012

As CAD administrator at my company, which is in the process of implementing Inventor/Vault, I am quite sold on the Layout Modeling/Multi-body part modeling functionality that Inventor supports.  Among other things I believe there is a large payoff in assembly stability and simplicity.  However, this workflow is very different from the conventional methods of modeling individual parts and manually constraining assemblies.

3ds Max Modeling :: Modeling Buildings In Organic Forms

Feb 7, 2011

I'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?
