3ds Max Ref Coordinate Gizmo
polycounter lvl 7
Hi,
I'm sure that the answer to my problem might be obvious but I'm at a loss right now. Here it is: I'm trying to manipulate my geometry via Vertex in Editable Poly mode so that the Vertex I have selected move parallel with the angle of the Polygon. Unfortunately the Ref Coordinate system doesn't seem to want to help me do that, as my movement Gizmo is locked on a strict X, Y, Z grid.
notice the Gizmo. I've played with the different Ref Coordinate gizmos (Local, World, Working, View) and none provide what I'm looking for. I could always do it manually seeing as how it's such a small deviation, however I was wondering if there is a more refined or precise way of doing it that I'm not aware of?
I hope I explained this clearly, thank you for your time.

The FB Sub-Obj Pivot script creates a working pivot based on sub-object selection. VERY useful!
Rappatools has a better implementation but you'll have to pay for the full pack. http://remusjuncu.com/rappatools/
