hi, in 3dsmax when i want to clone face from object to use it for modeling i should hold shift key and drag the face and select fromm dialog box as object or element . its sometimes usefull but i usualy after draging the face use it as new object then snap it  to original position. can we make a hotkey to just copy our selected face to new object . i see this in maya (ofcourse it works on the script) . tnx so much for your help

Also, please name your thread titles more descriptively. Its not good to have multiple threads with the same name.
