Short question - How to get multiple vertices to same position?

ikonane

If I have a half sphere object(or something bent) and I want to make that flat how do I do that simple?

For example if I want all the vertices to be at x = 0 without selecting them one by one and change the x position manually. Is that possible?

If I select them all and choose x = 0 it will position all the selected vertices around x = 0 with the difference that they were positioned from the beginning (average value).


Hopefully I have made myself understandable.
Thanks!

what 3d package?

in most you can set position to absolute mode, select them all and enter 0 on the x axis.

Sorry, 3Ds Max 2011.

But the "Absolut Mode Transform Type-In" does not work like that? It positions the vertices from the object and the average distance again.
Or am I using it wrong?

AFAIK you can't do this directly in max. The move tool takes the barycenter of your selection as origin and offset it so you have to align your vertices on the same axis first, using the make planar or scale a 0% on the desired axis, then move the vertices to 0.

cptSwing

what about the x/y/z buttons in the editable poly rollout?

Yeah, you could use make planar X, Y, Z to bring them to a single point then enter a value to move them accordingly.

ah sorry that works in maya, just scale by 0 in offset mode in 1 axis, or make plannar
