1. 3DS Max Shift Extrude/Extend+Maya Mode Selection?

   

   Topic by Fomori · Jan 2015 · Home› Technical Talk

   I recently switched to the Maya hotkey navigation in 3DS Max to have more consistency between applications. Which meant I had to change to "Maya Mode Selection" for the mouse as Alt is used to rotate the view instead of deselect. But Shift+extrude/extend from open edges no longer works with Maya mode selection (Shift+drag…

   I guess there is still no trick / hack available? Was going to ask how to fix this. I'm trying to use one camera navigation mode through all the programs and the Maya style is kind of a standard nowadays. But I use shift-copy and shift-extrude a lot (super feature! 8) ) and the invert-deselect thing is kind of time…

   So I've submitted that there is no way around it other than taking on some of max's controls. My method to keeping select/deselect and shift extrude is following the methods in this video, changing arc rotate from alt+lmb to just mmb, and just submitting to using ctrl and alt to select/deselect things. It isn't too bad…

   If you're willing to use max 2012 or below, you can use switcher for true maya style navigation. Much better if you use a pen. https://draster.com/component/page,shop.product_details/flypage,software-flypage/product_id,18/option,com_virtuemart/

Sorry. Maybe someone else has a…
