Hierarchy panel > Link info > Locks? Doesn't do anything for any of the sub object modes. My Max is acting up or I'm in the wrong place?

Axis locks do not work in sub-object mode?

Thanks guys! You are the best. I'm going to take time now and read carefully your tips and practice. I have also purchased 3Dats intermediate to advanced book, hope it will help to improve my skills.

Thanks a lot guys, I am not using Autocad. I only have Max. So I understand there is no easy way of replicating part of the poly object to another area of the same object? 8 segments are enough? Applying turbosmooth to entire poly object just to round some arches scares me a lot.

Anyone?

Hi guys, 2 newbie questions What is the most correct way of making window openings arched? and how do I actually make all the openings precisely the same size in first place? Let's say I have dozens of them? How do you clone/copy within the object in this context? Thanks!

I am using Vray and linear workflow. I would like to learn both photorealistic and artistic rendering.

Thanks Stan! I was wondering if it's possible to check if anybody here is selling their used copies? I just invested into some newer equipment and money is pretty tight right now.

Thanks Stan! It's little pricey (was not able to find it second hand so far) but looks like to be a good investment so far.

Hey Justin, you are right, I think i have way too much detail on those railings (see attached image). I was thinking about doing close up rendering of one of the balconies so I made them high poly.

Hey Jane, I started learning 3ds Max along with architectural aspects of 3d roughly the same time. I can get around basic modeling little better now but my texturing and lighting knowledge is very limited. I come from very strong 2d design background so I have general understanding how things should work. Thanks for your help!

Hey Travis, can you elaborate more on this, i don't think I completely understand. Do you mean my camera views?

Thanks guys! My main task right now to learn a proper workflow, where to start with the building project, how to make doors, windows, glass, floors properly. I read a lot but there aren't many tutorials on this subjects I've found. That's why i was asking about that book. So far for me it's all trial and error. So what I am saying is I would like learn a proper approach and technics in first place. Any suggestions will be very appreciated.

Hi all! I just started learning Max and architectural visualization couple of weeks ago and have many many problems and questions. For example this building I'm working on, at this stage it is not even 50% ready and already has about 6 million polygons, is that normal or I am doing something very wrong? I am also intend to purchase "3ds Max 2009 Architectural Visualization Intermediate to Advanced" book, and was wondering if it's worth it? Thanks!
