I have a productivity tip.

I have my thumb button mapped to "NumPad 0"

This gives my quick access to the functions I utilize the most.

NumPad 0 = Zoom Extents All Selected

Ctrl +NumPad 0 = Collapse (poly)

etc.

etc.

Enjoy.

I have them remapped to Ctrl and Alt - makes it more comfortable to add/subtract from selection, rotate viewport etc. Then again, I use AutoHotkey extensively and have all the other mouse buttons remapped to different deportment in different contexts as well. Anyway, some tips and tricks:

While shift moving to copy or example an object, you can use space push button to confirm instead of clicking the OK button - much faster when doing this often.

Y'all can switch betwixt viewports in a way similar to WinTab switching programs past using the Windows key + Shift. This works both with ane maximized view and when cycling through the visible views.

When you want to scale only positions of a set up of objects, link them to a dummy placed where you desire the scale heart to be, switch to the Bureaucracy console -> Affect Hierarchy Only and scale the dummy.

If you desire to tweak parameters of a modifier only the gizmo obstructs your view (say a noise gizmo), click the Pin Stack toggle and deselect the object - the gizmo will disappear and you will yet be able to alter the parameters.

To capsize vertex colors, you can use UVW XForm - choose Vertex Color Channel and flip all the channels. Works on face up/chemical element selection every bit well.

Symmetry uses the current Subobject choice as the eye as long as subobject way is agile when adding it, then when your pin is not at the desired symmetry plane, select one edge on that plane and add the Symmetry Modifier (if there are modifiers in a higher place, sometimes information technology wonn't work until they are turned off). The Symmetry gizmo will be placed at the center of the selection.

You can employ the Select by Proper name dialog with any pick node result - for instance when Link manner is active and it would exist hard to pick the parent by clicking, press H and pick the parent from the list.

Align/Normal Align tools besides work with any subobject selection.

If AutoGrid is on and yous agree downwardly the Alt key, the User Grid displayed together with the object yous are creating will remain active (won't work when in AutoKey mode).

If you want a material to render completely black nether all circumstances, utilize Multi/Sub Object cloth with ane slot, righ-click that slot and choose Clear to remove the material.

You tin can convert the new boolean objects (2017+) to Editable Spline to go the spline at the intersection of the operands. Spline based modifiers work as well.

With some modifiers such every bit FFD(box), the Evidence End Consequence button country doesn't stick and y'all cannot see the result of the stack. To fix that, paste enableShowEndRes true in the miniListener commandline and press Enter.

If you lot work in a vertex subobject fashion and only want to come across the smoothed outcome of the stack and non the vertex dots, add a Poly Select modifier. You can likewise turn off the edge cage under Subdivision Surface -> Testify Cage.

About of the fourth dimension, the Transform Blazon-In dialog (F12) is not really needed - y'all tin can switch Accented/First mode of the 3 spinners in the status panel with the push button on the left.

UVW Map has a very useful Acquire push - you can choice another object with mapping and it will acquire that mapping (Realtive/Absolute). Useful when adding a new object to a gear up of already mapped ones.

Many people know in that location's the Edit > Select By > Color so y'all can click an object and select all the objects with the same wirecolor. Sometimes it's hard to pick that object in the viewport and you don't know its name merely you lot know the colour - and for that, there's the Select Past Color button in the Object Colour pallette - information technology'due south in the lower correct and there's only an icon, no name.

You tin pick any color on the screen with the color picker - start, click the eydropper under the color palette, click within the color palette and Hold the mouse push. Now you tin movement the cursor outside the color palette and pick from your reference pictures, photoshop or anywhere else.

Max File Finder is the maxfind.exe utility in Max root folder, which makes it piece of cake to detect a scene by a cloth name used in it, object name, writer, plugins, you proper noun it.

When you want two object to share the aforementioned rotation, x-position etc., you lot can employ Wire Parameters but it'southward much easier to copy the controller and paste it as an instance. In list controllers, this works as Relative offset, in top-level, it'southward accented.
