[3ds Max] How to get "set to edge" like Maya

mitag

Hi guys so with 3ds Max we have Constraint options in Edit Geometry , but when I want to extrude vertex or edges along the edge I don't have any option. 



Also its quite awkward in Max that I can't align vertex to vertex/edge/face like with Maya just choose a vertex and hold 'v' on keyboard to align.

Put the pivot in local space. 

You also have all the snap tools you could ever need  if you rightclick the snap button

CompanionCube

in newer versions there is 'Local Aligned' but doesn't always work.

i use Extend Borders script. it has some quirks like it doesn't work with an Edit poly modifier, you need to have Edge constraint off and sometimes you need to toggle Straighten Corners if it's bugging out. But apart from that i use it everyday.
