Shift + translate
is a quick means of duplicating objects in MAX software. The "Clone options" pop-up will now present in the viewport area. Ensure that the "Copy" option is selected. MAX can duplicate objects in different forms. If a boolean operation is planned using the duplicated mesh, then it must be a "Copy". A new hemisphere will be created at the specified offset in the viewport. Object selection will automatically shift so that the cloned object is now the focus of operations. Note: Clicking on the X,Y or Z arrow of the axis icon when performing translations will constrain movement, rotation or scaling to the plane of the selected axis. Also - the axis icon can be adjusted in size using the + and - keys on the PC keyboard. |
