Manually Extruding in 3dsmax seems to be snapping

emilyillustrates

I am trying to hand extrude (aka not use the control widget that pops up) and it will not let me do so in small enough intervals. I'm using 2013, and i do not have snapping on, even turned it off in preferences and set to 0.0 just in case.

Anyone have this issue or have any idea how to fix this problem?

thanks.

this is usually either because your mesh is very small or because it thinks it is (due to scale factor).

you can dick around with precision to an extent in the preferences but I've rarely encountered this on anything that's at real world sort of scale so I'd be inclined to suggest fixing the object rather than bending max to fit around it.
