Cad64 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Reinstall should only be used as a last resort. Your problem is a simple one. Just hit X on your keyboard. X toggles your Gizmo display on and off. Quote
jasoooon Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 thx very much need to learn some more hotkeys Jason Quote
Cad64 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Max has about a million hotkeys and key combos, and there are plenty more that you can customize yourself, but these are the most important ones that you should really make a point of learning. F2 – Shade selected faces toggle F3 – Toggle between Wireframe and Smooth + Highlights F4 – View Edged Faces F9 – Render last rendered viewport, or, in case of the first render, render selected viewport. F10 – Opens the Render Scene window allowing you to set rendering options. Q – Select E – Select and Rotate R – Select and Scale W – Select and Move D – Disables the viewport G – Hide/Show Grid H – Select by Name J – Show Selection Bracket Toggle M – Opens the Material Editor O – Adaptive Degradation Toggle V – Open view shortcut menu X – Transform Gizmo Toggle Z – Zooms in on the current selection CTRL-A – Select all CTRL-D – Deselect all CTRL-C – Create camera from viewport CTRL-V – Clone object CTRL-X – Toggle Expert mode ALT-C – Cut Alt-L – Select Edge Loop ALT-Q – Isolate Object Alt-X – Display As See-Through Toggle SHIFT -E / ALT-E – Extrude poly Shift-Q – Quick render, renders selected viewport. Spacebar – Selection Lock toggle 1 - Vertex selection mode 2 - Edge selection mode 3 - Border selection mode 4 - Polygon selection mode 5 - Element selection mode 7 – Polygon counter 8 – Open Environment and Effects Dialog F – Switch to the Front viewport T – Switch to the Top viewport L – Switch to the Left viewport R – Switch to the Right viewport P – Switch to the Perspective viewport B – Switch to the Bottom viewport C – Switch to a Camera viewport Quote
jasoooon Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 thx, i'll print those out I'm in my second year of architecture now and we haven't learned anything about max, and a little bit about autoCAD, but 90% off the stuff you just have to learn your selve. So i'm having sometimes quite a hard time finding my way in these programs, but luckly there is...THE INTERNET:) Jason Quote
