3DS Max - Question - Realtime Gizmo

Ace-Angel

Hey to all,

I was wondering if it's possible it make the 3DS Max Gizmo realtime, as in it moves with my mouse when I have the mesh selected, instead the dead and insipid one where it stands like dolt doing nothing at the last location it was accessed?

Much appreciated, and love to all, Ace.

PS: Nothing...

Never experienced the gizmo staying in place while moving my objects

The only way I can re-create this is by changing my transform coordinate centre thingy:



(the bottom one is the "problem" one)

you maybe want to put your gizmo to "local"? (on the screen above just click on the downward arrow left to the red box Dave painted in)
though i dont know if thats what u are aming for...

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply.

Thanks for all the feedback, but it seems like Max stops updating the Gizmo when I have alot going on in the scene (EI: Several hundred objects amassing to 3M polies). I was able to layer and hide a much of my scene and the Gizmo seems fine now.

Cheers, and sorry for the stupid topic.

Well, that might be your problem right there - making your scene a tad lighter might help ...

Also, if you're moving an object by selecting ALL of it's vertices/faces/edes/whatever, then the gizmo stays in place, since the pivot point isn't actually moving. You're just moving the geometry in that case. AKA, get out of sub-object mode.

Thanks, I never paid attention to this, good to know
