Any help is much appriciated.

Editable Poly has four Flatten buttons, maybe those are equivalent to the Maya command?

right click on move-transform tool - opens the "move transform type-in" window, switch to scale right click x axis spinner, switch back to move transform right click x axis spinner.

rightclick always sets a zero value in the spinners, pretty handy.

Make Planar X, Y, Z should do it for ya. Also if you're looking to set the gizmo to the objects lowest center point and then snap the whole object to the world zero point I wrote this script. It comes in real handy for making props for UE3 or Source. Most engines want the prop at dead center of the world axis.

Run the script from anywhere (MaxScript > Run Script), then it will show up in Customize > Customize UI > Catagory: Vig Tools > ToWorldZero. I have it set as a tool bar button but you can put it in the quad menu, keyboard short cut whatever works best for you.
