In case you still want help Some possible fixes - When using UV island selections an inverted face normal will cause that face to be unselected & break apart. - Make sure shared location is selected http://i.imgur.com/BUN6TM3.png - Shared vertex is just annoying & having it set to disabled when you select verts/edges/faces…
Hey, i am back with another maxscript issue im facing. in Maxscript for sw 3D Studio Max 2016 I am currently trying to build a series of functions to among other things get loop/ring edge "spans" between edge selections or specific edges. The first step in such a function is reliably getting the next edge in the loop/ring…
( I tried having a go at it, there is a "bug" where if you drag click with move, rotate or scale tool you can still apply the effect by letting go of the mouse button before you stop moving the cursor. Although I haven't been able to get it to apply the tool effect when testing with a wacom, but only with my mouse. I'm…
@JoseConseco looks cool, looking forward to messing aorund with that. So particle hair has some basic functionality for storing selections now. In the tools section of the comb brush there is a hair group option. it is supposed to also colour each group, but does not work.It does store the selection, but you can't seem to…
How exactly are you trying to select the individual models? Clicking where exactly? And which version of Max? Looks like 2015 maybe... you can go to the Select menu and disable Select Children, which prevents clicking on the Layer from selecting all its contents. Make sure to deselect the Layer (click an empty place in the…
Sweet! I'll have to try that out. Is there somekind of backface selection option that's turned on by default in Max? I have no problems selecting the verts I want, but I'm having extreme difficulty selecting the edge/faces I want. 85% of the time Max will select the edge/face on the other side of my object. As you can…
Only have Max here but I've managed to pass edges through like it says in the docs .. you need to make a selection set - in this case from subobjects (edges) then when exporting the fbx make sure you have the selection set option ticked. in designer add the object to your graph, enable As Subd button enter the selection…
how do you change selection modes in Max? i don't even know what they're called but basically one lets you select poly/edge by selecting any part of it, the other one only selects when selection rectangle covers the whole poly/edge. i change them accidentally from time to time but somehow i never found the damn toggle or…
@5rettski Observation and speculation can be informative but sometimes the best way to learn is to actually recreate the effect by starting from first principles. It may be helpful to break this problem down into it's constituent parts then work through solving each of them individually to build up an understanding of the…
I may be wrong, but what ironbearxl suggested is how I used to do it. But you have to turn on snaps and set pivot to Use Selection Center to have the transform point snap to where you want it. Transforming About Snapped Points You can transform a sub-object selection from a temporary pointsuch as rotating forearm vertices…
