3ds Max Modeling :: How To Accurately Fillet The Edges Of The Cube
May 5, 2011
Say I have an editable patch cube. Is there a way to accurately Fillet the edges of the cube while it's a patch?
I need to use patch modeling so I can convert to nurbs for IGES export. I really don't want to convert to an editable poly at any point in the process because it adds so many extra patches when I convert it back.

I used the TUT S3D#1:Different image on each sides of a cube.(EASY) by ASH for an image im working on for my wife. there was a pic posted at the end of the thread that had the edges of the cube looking rounded and glass like i have tried to get this effect but have been unsucsessfull and here is the image i am talking about the image is Her last post (#133) or click here

I've created a 3D cube in After Effects and instead of just a solid or a photograph on each side of the cube as it rotates, I'd like there to be a different video stream, like the cube in the center of the frame of this video here: URL....
Apparently he used another program than AfterEffects.How would I do this in AE? Could I make each streaming video be a parent to its corresponding side of the cube somehow?

I use Rhino to make pendant models but I find that Rhino's fillet function very slow and inefficient, so I'd like to know if Autodesk would be better at doing that.

I am trying to extrude a cube along a CV curve, but I seem to be running into two issues.
Here is the first one.
[URL].....
For some odd reason I am not seeing the option called "use selected curve for extrusion" in the extrude window. Does it even exist in Maya 2012? Or did they take it out?
And here is my second issue.
[URL]....
Since there is no option called "use selected curve for extrusion", I have to experiment with the "Poly Extrude Curve" options. But when I do....the mesh gets all messed up and it always seems to come to a point at the other end of the CV curve.
Why can I not see the option "use selected curve for extrusion"? And why does my mesh keep coming to a point at the end of my CV curve?

I am trying real hard to fillet the edges of these designs but it keeps saying try again with a smaller radius.

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?

I'm trying to snap a head with it's neck with the merge edge tool, but somewhere along the way, the edges lost there border edge characteristics and now I can't merge the edges. Is there a way to make the edges back to the way they were?

When joining 2 pipes (cylinders) how do you get a radius/fillet where the 2 pipes intersect? How can you control the radius size? Attached is a 2010 version and 2013 version MAX file. piperadius.zip

I have a simple object that I need to produce a fillet between each tube to the center Hex object. How is this done? I tried selecting the edge of the tube that is adjacent to the hex but there is no option to "fillet" the selected edge.

I need to create a cube with the bottom of the cube being flat and then the top being at a slope with all 4 top corners being at different heights, basically I am looking to see if there is a command that let's me drag the corners to where I want it but for the life of me I can't find it

My model loses lambert on only certain faces every so often. Might be related to clicking on camera or trying to extrude certain edges. I want to delete the camera but this happens to the model every time i touch the camera. I can't reapply the lambert by pressing 6 or assigning new material. if you know what's happening.

As I import an OBJ into max (using 2012, but it was the same for previous versions too) I edit the objects and as I delete some edges to refine it, it looks as if I break the object/polygon flow. Black smears appear near edges, none of the polys are black so I don't think it's a normals problem.

I have this cylinder (purple) that I want to cut into this smooth curved sheet.
I have thought about booleans but I don't understand why the stack closes and how to smooth the new sharp edges created when i do it.
How would you go about it?
The aim is to create a cylindrical opening in the sheet while maintaing the smoothing, while getting the edges themselves smoothed.
My stack is EditPoly, TurboSmooth, Bend, Box.

I'm creating a face, but what I want is to have whatever happens on the right to happen on the left, instead of clicking each point to move the edges. I tried just cutting the face in half and duplicating, but I don't know how to flip second copy.

lowpoly but their edges are not showing. The edges that im talking about is the one that makes the model blocky, or look really low poly. what technique shall i use ?

How i can select multiple edges and perform some modifications on them like moving one endpoint of them and the multiple edges react like i would do this with one single edge.

I have several edges that will not delete. There are no faces connected, so the edges are suspended in space. I can select any number of edges but when I press delete they just deselect. I don't have more then one line occupying the space, nothing is hidden, and restarting maya hasn't worked.

Is there some way to make the Scale Tool stop when multiple selected verts or edges are aligned, like in Max? I've noticed that you can overshoot when trying to align this way. I suppose there is always snapping to grid..

I am trying to model an object with planes using edge extrusions with shift drag. The issue I am having when using this method is getting lots of unplanar surfaces (even after using the make planar button). This is because max will not let me shift drag an edge straight back on its local axis to keep it perfectly planar. See image below.
I am wanting to extrude out this edge straight back on its local axis. But the result just makes it go straight up.

I know where the customize colors options is... but trying to guess at the meanings of the names is a very tedious process in max
So, I found the color for edges when working with geometry... but when I model something with a symmetry modifier applied, then the edge color defaults to the bright ORANGE color. What this color would be called?
And for that matter, any data base, online file, where these color terms are defined more clearly. It's sometimes very tedious to trial and error these things, especially if you have to restart max every time you take a guess.

Is there a way to do this? After perusing some threads on creating edges from vertices, the "Create" tool under "Edit Geometry" doesn't seem to solve my issue. In Blender, you can create a face by selecting at least three vertices and pressing "F". Is there anything similar to that feature in 3DS Max?
I'm using the 2010 version.

When I use the TurboSmooth modifier I get artifacts that you can see in the upper red rectangle of the second picture. Is this due to the former welding process that I used or is it just a geometry issue?
Furthermore I get a shape that`s supposed to be a nice 'round' surface. Probably it's just putting in some more vertecies? (second picture, lower rectangle)
For better understanding I attached the before and after pics with mesh turned on.

I know about F3 and F4, but usually when i used maya and 3ds max 2014, i could see edges when i select an object....now i cant. When i go into edge mode, i cant even see edges at all unless i blindly select them. This image i show has a box of 2 segments and i selected the middle edges....can only see what i selected in red.

when I select an edge for example the edges close to it are selected as well and turn yellow and the farther ones turn red and move when I move the edge I selected. I'm pretty sure this a simple problem, like a button I need to toggle, but I seriously can't find it. How do I select individual edges?
EDIT
I found out that this was cancelled by just pressing B.

What I'd like to know is whether Maya can do accuracy.
For instance: Is it possible for me to select two edges or vertices and type in an exact distance that I would like to have between them.
Very fine accuracy is not required.
