3ds max script/command line question

kfsps83

Hey all

In Maya there is a command that will move whatever you currently have selected to the center of the grid, by typing in

move -x 0 (for the X axis, otherwise you use -y or -z)

What I want to know is if there is a similar command for 3ds Max (specifically 3ds max design 2k11).

Help?

Right click the select and move icon on the top.

But it only works for single objects unless they are attached.

$.pos = [0,0,0]

Use: $.pos.x, $.pos.y, $.pos.z
to make it hold the value of the given axis

Down in the lower left corner you can access the listener, you can type $.pos = [0,0,0] into the white box and hit enter to move whatever you have selected to the grid 0,0,0 position. You can also right click either box and open up the listener/recorder.

You can also use the type in coordinates boxes down in the lower bar, to the right of the padlock.

A few weeks ago I did a write up on max script for newbies that covers this kind of stuff in greater detail.
