3DS MAX 2014 (problem with view and moving vertex)

Valcryst

Hi,


I switched to max 14 student version and I get something I never had with older max version.

My problem is, when I try to move a vertex/edge in a view (let's say front view), MAX moves the vertex in y althought, I should be only be able to move it in x/z...

If I move up a vertex in front view, it goes up but also moves to the right in the left view for exemple... O_o

I don't understand... I never had problem like this one...

Constraints is on none? Editable poly-> edit geometry-> constraints. If its on edge it would behave as you wrote depending on the geometry.

It's the snap toogle. How can I force it to snap only in 2D?


I'm modeling a building so I use snap to grid so I can export a nice model in udk. But it seems it use the 3 directions to snap even in 2D view. Real pain.

You can access to the snap settings here.

Constraints option is on none.

I'll try with grid lines on.

Still having the problem. Could it be because I set grid spacing to 2?

Max seems to have trouble fiding the grid points...

Is axis constant off ? If so turn it on.

Right click on the snaps > Options > Enable Axis Constraints (make sure it's ticked)

Wasn't ticked. Just tried and it seems it works perfectly now.

Thx you both for your help
