3dsmax rounding out units

felipefrango

I don't know if it's a real issue or it's actually supposed to be a feature but I've never had this issue before so I think it might be a Max 2011 thing. I'll try to explain it as best as my english will allow me: I can't seem to enter any units with more than one decimal digit, it rounds down to zero anything lower than 0,1m so I can't for example set my weld threshold to a more accurate number such as 0,01 or lower, it will either weld stuff that's more apart than I want to or not weld anything at all. And I can't seem to find the place (if it even exists) to set this accuracy so if anyone out there knows how to play with it, please let me know.

Hi, I'm not sure this one applies: there is a setting in Customize > Preferences... panel: General, groupbox: Spinners, it is the Precision Decimals. It should be set to 3 by default, maybe yours is set to 1. Just a shot in the dark, hoping it helps

Damn man, thanks, you nailed it on the head! What's weird though is that it was set to 3 already, but I set it to 1 and then back to 3 and now it works like it's supposed to. Hell, I actually left it at 4 just to make sure. Thanks again!

I'm glad it worked! I found that setting while scripting, because you can define custom accuracy for every spinner or just leave it to the default, but I needed to know how to set that default value

Hah, cool. I have no idea what went wrong since it was at 3, I hadn't changed the setting, but Max is such a huge bugfest I'm not even surprised anymore.

I think that was a common bug which was fixed in almost every version and now it´s back again.Better don´t ask why, i don´t get it either xD
