Just a little update for those who might be interested, I created a little macro as a workaround for that: macroScript Move category:"BTK Scripts" toolTip:"Move"(actionMan.executeAction 0 "50001" -- Tools: Select and Movemax movetmGizmos.useGizmo=false --turn off gizmotoolMode.coordsys #screen)macroScript Rotate…
I'm coming from a maya/silo background and max is starting to grow on me with 2012, I've done some extensive scripting to make it behave how I like it but I'm hitting a wall here. In maya if you use the middle mouse button you can move the component selection in screen space. I know that I can achieve that in max with the…

I havent tested it but maybe paint selection would work for you in this instance. (be warned paint selection isnt very good in max, its prone to selecting back facing geometry)
Yeah but that only activate the centerbox thing which is ridiculously tiny, lost in between the axis (which makes selecting individual axis very easy in an inconvenient way)
I believe switcher, by draster lets you do this just like maya. rather than using drag i find it easier to set ther transform space to screen. alt-rightclick, select screen. then hide the transform gizmo with 'x' works just like drag, but also works for scaling and rotating. (scaling needs the gizmo)
@ r_fletchg_r I wasn't clear by "selection radius" I meant "click drag radius" :> Like in silo you know in the properties you can adjust the "hotzone". But thanks for you answer :) @Bryan Cavett Unfortunately no, you still have to point to the exact origin of the vert. THanks for the suggestion though. I guess that will…
