g-max rotate question

Postby citationX » Wed May 04, 2005 7:20 pm

I use the rotate botton for the (X,Y,Z) alot to change the aircraft or object  in g-max while I'am building but, their's something that I did to g-max the I can't fix or find out how to fix. I was saving my project with Ctrl+S to save, but I think I tapped another key. I'am trying to get the axes to highlight (X,Y,Z) but they wont show me that I have any of the axes selected. I think the rotate is proffesional mode, I dont know? I restarted G-max but the problem didn't get fixed. Anybody know information about this? or any suggestions to fix my problem thank you.

You need to define rotate a bit further. Are you talking about Arc Rotate or Select and Rotate?

This may help or not,It's just the Axes don't highlight anymore when I select any of the (X,Y,Z) axes to rotate the object. I also tried to reset the Custom UI Scheme, but that didn't help.

i had that before, sometimes you hit a bad key and all goes mad :P

go to preferences and find the option to enable the tranform gizmo, this should bring it back to life ;)

Yes Moach, that worked thanks, alot I got confused for a second, and was ready to quit. I also, have the 737 experience enstalled and it rocks. If you find a Su-27 in the Aircraft Design forum this aircraft is done by me but is not completed yet. Thank you!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

citation5,

You actually pressed the X key and inadvertently turned off the Gizmo. There's really not a need to go through Customize=>Preference Viewport tab to turn it back on. Just press X again.  ;)
