Annoying Max Trouble

tradedaemon · 07-04-2003, 02:25 AM

The first thing thats wierd, and it isn't really a problem, I hope, but in the first pic below on the left, theres a green line running diagonally down the picture, but not on the right.

Also I can't seem to select any faces when in Face mode. It normally changes to red whatever I select a face, but now it doesn't. Any help?

i think you're in view edges mode or whatever its called. try hitting ctrl + e and c what happens. hopefully this won't damage your hard disk.
question number 2 - F2. switches between seeing selected in red, and not seeing them in red.

tradedaemon · 08-04-2003, 05:09 AM

Well, for the first ctrl+e didn't do anything, but I did get rid of it be rightclicking the user name and selecting Edged Faces, so that did help.

And on two, I was actually meaning that the outline becomes red, but this works too. Thnks so much, I didn't want to have to reset again.

The first question about the lines : press f4

Heres another thing that is bugging me. I think i'm just pressing a button to do it but can't figure out what. In the pic, i'm in vertex mode and when ever I select a vertex, the ones around it change color like its affected by it. Anyone help? Thnx

looks like you have soft selection turned on

what soft select allows you to do is move a vert and its surrounding verts based on a gradient of influence. you should see a sub menu of edit mesh or poly with soft selection options in it, you can turn it off there

good luck

Thnx So much. Yah Soft selection was unrolled out and I found out the whenever I did ctrl + s, it would activate it, with ctrl +s suppost to be my save key, so theres another mystery solved. Well, half way, see I have ctrl + S set on my Custom Ui for save, so what do I do to switchi it, because when ever I do ctrl + S it does Soft selection instead of Save. Thnxs again.

i want to have a good modelling .
but it is very hard for me .

lillypusher · 10-04-2003, 10:28 AM

in max 4 u have a toggle to turn off using sub mode keyboard shortcuts(or something of the like). ior u could go through customize>>prefrences and u have it there. i'll check when i get home and let u know how on max 4.2.

tradedaemon · 10-04-2003, 10:39 PM

Found it, its the little key on the bottem of the status bar, but thnxs for pointing me in the right direction.

tradedaemon · 10-04-2003, 10:59 PM

Why is it that my lines always get tangled like in the picture below. And should I worry about them affecting me later, or do I just ignore them since I extrude and everything in my edit mesh, and fix in meshsmooth using vertex mode?

tradedaemon · 18-04-2003, 11:31 PM

In max, when i'm in edge mode, I try slecting something, but it doesn't display in red as an outline. Any help?

modest · 19-04-2003, 02:01 AM

hello
it is very good .

tradedaemon · 19-04-2003, 02:57 AM

Also, how would I turn off the dotted line that crosses the face. See Picture below.
