Hi

since a few days my gizmo has "disipeard" in max

i can still rotate, move, scale but only in the direction of the view

so when im in top view i can only move within the xy axis

im finding it realy anoing, i have reinstalled max, but didn't change

can someone tell me what i did wrong?

 

i attatched a picture where u can see that my move tool is on but cant see the gizmo

 

Thx anyway

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:)
