Move Tool at Odd Angles-3DS Max 2009

RAWTalent

Been working fin up to know, but suddenly when I select a vertex now the move tool is at an odd angle, each vertex seams to have its own weird angle and if I select multiple vertices and move them they all go in different directions. Help :S

Sounds like your move is set to "local" instead of "view"

Ah I see the little drop-down, problem solved, cheers

I toggle the ref coord system between local and view constantly. That local pivot comes in really handy some times.

I wrote this little script that each time you press the move, scale or rotate keyboard shortcuts, it switches it to the oposite mode.

Save the script anywhere, run it once, (you can then delete it after you've run it once)
It will add the scripts to Customize > Customize UI > Keyboard tab > Category VigTools
There you can bind it to your move rotate and scale keys.
