Getting Started in 3DS Max 2021 (part 2) - Transformation (move, rotate, scale)

One of the first tasks you want to do in 3ds Max is to move, rotate and scale your objects. I show you how you can do that quickly and/or precisely.

[@MobloxGaming]

I love this because of how slow and easy you are going.

i really think that you are the best teacher! My favourite in TU

[@pediaditakisminos4745]

Great video! Very concise and helpful to begin in 3ds Max!

[@shamerakhushi204]

Definitely would recommend this Chanel to my friends. Great one ! Thanks a lot

Danke schön! After a long time using other Softwares it is refreshing to review 3ds MAX

I was wondering how to copy an object to a direction with a specific distance like in AutoCAD and SketchUp? And thanks for the videos, very helpful.

[@AFTutorials]

That is quite simple. I thought I was showing that. Select the object(s), chose Edit / Clone and create 1 copy without moving it first. The selection is now not on the original object anymore but on the copy. Now move/rotate/scale the copy whatever distance you like with the type-in transform window. (Right click on the move icon)

@@AFTutorials oh thank you very much for the quick response 😊, that works 👍

hello at 11-30min why is the override shotcuts icon slectd on in the top menu near the angle snap--we keep this on always like angle snap?

[@bitsurface5654]

I like your tutorials very much. In minute 15 you tell to avoid scaling for a good reason, I did not used Max for about 10 years and now I am watching your tutorials, to recall all the functions. I am a Blender user for 15 years. My question is - In Blender you can apply the scale or rotation or translation with Ctrl A. So the Box will then show the original size of 20,20,20 if you scaled it by 200% for example and not 10,10,10 with 200% scale. Is this function also available in 3dsMax?

[@AFTutorials]

Hi! There is a modifier called "xform" you might want to check that out. When applied, it resets the scale value. When you then transform it into an editable mesh (right click and choose transform...) the scale is 100% again.

[@bitsurface5654]

@@AFTutorials Thanks a lot, tried this, but does not work, the scale remains as before.

[@pjmclenon]

hello at 9min50sec nothing happens when i press escape button while i finshed rotating the x or y or z axis --why?

[@pjmclenon]

hello when i put 0, -50, 0 for the 2nd object its inside the 1st object whuch is at 0,0,0 why? at 8min

[@pjmclenon]

hello at 19min29 i put the 3 objects on top of eaxh but they are crooked and i don tknow how to aligh them like you did i find this diffucyt

[@pjmclenon]

hello because of this step at 19min 29 when i try to do scale it doesnt some how allow me to scale the whole object 3 axis i dont know why i will try to find the section again where you did scale

[@TheEla88]

can we make like 10 copies but all of them with the same distance between each other?

[@AFTutorials]

Sure! I am oldfashioned, I would make the first cooy by hand with the right distance and use shift and move plus object snap for the other copies. But there is also the „array“ function for that 😂

[@TheEla88]

@@AFTutorials perfect, thank you! :)

[@ReelAESklarzykVO]

Whenever I move objects they always move SO SO slowly. This does not happen with scale or rotate as those follow the speed of my mouse. I can only get my object to move 100mm even moving the mouse from one side of my screen to the other its so unbelievably annoying. Please please get back to me!!!

[@AFTutorials]

I have no idea why this could be. Are you using the same units that I am recommending? are the objects to scale? or extremely large or small? Try to move objects only in TOP View and make sure, that the object snap (S) is not turned on. If all that doesn't work try to move it by typing in in the type in transform window (right click on move) good luck

[@pjmclenon]

hello at 22min how exascltyu can you hold the left click pointer and then right click and hold shift key? cmon you lost me now --Lisa--

[@pjmclenon]

i cannot follow you for midpoint
