Maya's interactive creation in 3ds max

Arthur Ramazanov

Anyone know if there is a way to just click on a primitive in Max and have it appear at 0,0,0 rather than creating it?

Like in maya you can turn off interactive creation.

Also if there is a way to select something Max without accidentally moving it? lol

when I create a primitive I just type in the coords 0,0,0 to move it to center, usually.

To stop moving things, press "Q." Its the hotkey for entering selection mode...so instead of moving, rotating, or scaling, your just selecting...you won't move stuff by accident then.

You can right click the spinner(the little /\ and \/ thing) and it will make it go down to 0(or what ever lowest value can possibly fit)

Right click the X Y Z spinners on the bottom and you can set what ever you are selecting to 0,0,0.
