Urgent 3ds max 2011 prob: Face snaps won't turn off

mrlemonyfresh

Hey everyone. I have an assessment due in just a few days and I'm having problems with the 3ds max at the campus (i use 2010) I played around with the snaps options then when i was done, i unticked all the snaps but when i move the verts on a face they'll be confined to that face, i can only move them along the plane. I tried googling for a bit but I'm running out of time, so sorry if it's already been answered somewhere.

You might have Normals constraint turned on maybe ?

try pushing x... It toggles the constrain to face option on/off

Doesn't x turn the axes on and off? it's turned on atm

Well I got a lot of stuff done at home and forgot to check these answers but now i'm back at college with some stuff to finish.

Pior, according to my snapping options there is no option ticked for normals. I Don't have 3ds max in front atm because I'm currently stuck on a /MAC/ (which doesn't have the program loaded) but I'm assuming the normal contraints are not in the section with edge/face/etc restraints? where exactly might it be?

r_fletch_r

they mean shift-x id imagine. that toggles edge contraints.

perhaps you have a contraint turned on, have you made sure they are off. (in editable poly)

MatthewS

No... in the edit poly modifier x is bound to constrain to face... or at least for my defaults it is. But the thing in fletch's image is what it messes with so just make sure that is off.
