Rikard Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Hello, 2 questions, In max when you move or rotate your view the objects in the scene stay "normal" but I accidentally pressed a load of keys by mistake and don't know what I done, iv re-set max but it hasn't cured the problem, the problem is this: When I move about, I press the middle mouse button (scroller wheel) and press left/right Alt, when this happens the objects disappear and are replaced with these box outlines while moving Stationary [attachmentid=10558] While moving my view of the objects go like this.... [attachmentid=10559] As I said it was fine before I pressed all the keys, and resetting max doesn’t cure it. My second question is: If I have an object, a wheel for example, I select it and want to move my view around it, but the "view rotation" I think is centered to rotate around the centre of the scene, but I want it to rotate around the object, the object being the centre. Example, currently I have a wheel in a scene like this; [attachmentid=10560] As I rotate my view to see the other side of the wheel, because the view rotation isn't centred to the wheel the view goes way off course [attachmentid=10561] So can anyone please tell me how to centre the rotation to the wheel? Thanks very much for reading Any help truly appreciated Rikard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrod331 Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 hi rikard when i rotate a few models at once i get boxes instead if the cars the only thing i can think of about the wheel is that its not lined up right in the middle of the grid:) hope that helps m8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Another thing, those screenies show that you are in "User" view. Shouldn't you be using perspective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick M48 Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Usually to completely reset max, find the .UI files and delete them, when you restart max it should make some new default ones. To rotate the view around the selected object, left click and hold down the rotate tool button and choose one of the other rotate methods that pop up.
