3DS Max snapping...again
polycounter lvl 18
OK - I've got an annoying snapping problem which I can't remember how to fix...or if I ever found a fix in teh past or just worked around it.
3DS Max 2011, snapping turned on, all snapping options turned off except "vertex", 2 or more verts selected, mouse over one of the verts, drag to move and snap it to another vert, moving the other vertices with it...it snaps to the midpoint between the two even though midpoint checkbox is turned off in the snap options.
Why god why? This didn't happen in earlier versions where the vert you hovered over would snap to the vert you wanted, keeping the other vertices in position relative to the new vert. How do I get back the old way of snapping verts?

It seems it was just the scale of the vertices being too close to the centrepoint gizmo, and Max not letting me select either vert because of this. Zooming right in let me select either of the verts or the centre gizmo and snap to any of these.
