<p>Hi team,&nbsp;<br /><br />Ive built a simple plane &gt; turned into editpoly &gt; created shell &gt; mirror.&nbsp;<br /><br />However, for some reason, as perpendicular as I believe ive built this ( Done with default axis ),&nbsp;<br />My Shell is noticably offset on a slight angle ( Orange arrow indicating the difference ) where the offset....grows?&nbsp;<br />On top of that, When I mirror, Its clearly not perpendicular as there is gaps ( Final snip ) with a the pink plane as reference.&nbsp;<br /><br /></p><p><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" style="width: 400px;"><img alt="liamyongging_0-1769546660820.png" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1613650i4C296837473E08EF/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" title="liamyongging_0-1769546660820.png" /></span></p><p><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" style="width: 400px;"><img alt="liamyongging_1-1769546711223.png" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1613651iD636294ADCD6675E/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" title="liamyongging_1-1769546711223.png" /></span></p><p><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" style="width: 400px;"><img alt="liamyongging_2-1769546771354.png" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1613652i732BCBB23514DB74/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" title="liamyongging_2-1769546771354.png" /></span><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" style="width: 400px;"><img alt="liamyongging_3-1769546816596.png" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1613653i5E5074C5CA8C0E94/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" title="liamyongging_3-1769546816596.png" /></span><br /><br />My quesiton is :&nbsp;<br />1. how do i detect slight ( if any ) angles quickly with my plane.<br />2. If not, Do let me know what the issue is here.&nbsp;<br /><br />File attached&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hi team,<br /><br />Curious what the best workflow is to have the edge of editpoly B , being embedded on the editpoly of A. Im looking to have the exact same edge, and then trim the top right chunk out of editpoly B.&nbsp;<br /><br /></p><p><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" style="width: 400px;"><img alt="liamyongging_0-1769547659941.png" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1613662i4063596E619121D3/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" title="liamyongging_0-1769547659941.png" /></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hi team,<br /><br />im looking to boolean a plane(pink) with geometry ( blue )&nbsp;<br /><br />Both basic editpoly geometry.&nbsp;<br />however when i boolean my plane with the geometry, it results in a black region. Can Someoone explain to me how this happened.. Really appreciate this.&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /></p><p><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" style="width: 400px;"><img alt="liamyongging_0-1769510683675.png" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1613494i68B58800E161813B/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" title="liamyongging_0-1769510683675.png" /></span></p><p><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" style="width: 400px;"><img alt="liamyongging_1-1769510750214.png" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/1613495i0899E829DA7C5B5F/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" title="liamyongging_1-1769510750214.png" /></span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Hi Gang, im fairly new to this so apologies for the silly questions. Im trying to select the base/ backface ( in yellow ) of an editpoly geometry. I have tried clicking / unclikcing backface / occluded but no luck. Any help will be much appreciated Kind regards, LL

Hi, How do animate verts in an editpoly modifier with maxscript? My current attempt doesn't set keys even if I set the modifier to animate mode and also wrap it all within an on animate context. Here's my code so far, it matches the vert positions of one object to another but I'd like it to animate the verts: sourceobj = selection[1] modifyObject = selection[2] storedVertPositions = #() vertCount = polyop.getNumVerts sourceobj print vertCount -- Cache vertex positions in world space for i = 1 to vertCount do ( pos = polyop.getVert sourceobj i --append storedVertPositions #(i, pos) append storedVertPositions pos ) -- add epoly to modified mesh ePolyMod = undefined --Edit_Poly () for modify in modifyObject.modifiers where modify.name == "Edit Poly" do ePolyMod = modify select modifyObject max modify mode modPanel.setCurrentObject ePolyMod ePolyMod.enabled = true subobjectLevel = 1 ePolyMod.useSoftSel = off ePolyMod.SetSelection #Vertex #{} ePolyMod.animationMode = true for i = 1 to vertCount do ( sourcePos = storedVertPositions[i] currentPos = polyop.getVert modifyObject i diffVector = sourcePos - currentPos with animate on( at time 100 ( modifyObject.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].Select #Vertex #{i} modifyObject.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].MoveSelection diffVector modifyObject.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].Commit() modifyObject.modifiers[#Edit_Poly].SetSelection #Vertex #{} ) ) ) Thanks for reading 🙂 Cheers

3ds max 2024 In the EditPoly edit state or Skin Modify edit state, the back wire turns gray. Personally, it is sometimes convenient, but sometimes inconvenient. I want to do a editable poly -  edge turn, but the moment I rotate the viewport, the front wire color changes from white -> gray, the back wire color changes from gray -> white, and I can't see which edge I want to change. It gets worse as the number of faces increases. How can I change all the wires to white?
