45 degree move angle

scourgewarper

In max is there a script/way to add a handle at 45 degrees to the move select tool? In 2d orthographic view this would mean a 45 degree angle pointer arrow in addition to the normal x/y/z handles and maybe in the 3d view an angle pointer in all the 45 degree planes. Is this possible in max?

glib

I usually have my working pivot rotated off 45 degrees in the Z.

Hmm that'd work for sub-object selections etc, is there a way to use it when using modifiers like FFD etc and moving the control points?

glib

Just change your coordinates from 'screen' to 'working'. Works everywhere.
