Chris MacDonald Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Just wondering if any of you have had this happen before... My 2.5d snap is acting like a 3d snap, I have of course checked all the usual things such as "am I in top view", and is "2.5d snap actually on?" and all I can summise from it is that the 2.5d snap is actually broken somehow. I've tried resetting my snaps, I've tried starting a new scene and resetting but to no avail, it continues to snap to things on the Z axis. I have for years now said that 3ds max's snap system is like working with an antique and that it's long needed an overhaul, but when even the most basic of its features breaks... It's just ludicrous. I'll take back my rant if someone can point me in the direction of a fix. [edit] Restarting max rather than going to file/new seems to fix the problem in new files, but when I open the file I'm working in it reverts back to being problematic again.

salvador Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 OK. A shot in the dark: Do you by any chance have a user grid active? or any grid other than the home grid? I have found 2.5 snap failing in this circumstances, so I go back to home grid and all snaps work again. Hope it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yavannaannavay Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Hy! I happen to have the same problem. How do I fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Eloy Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Are you guys by any chance using Max 2014? There seems to be a problem with the snap tool that makes the 2.5D snap behave like the 3D. From my experience, it seems this is actually more related to the snap button than anything else: when you find the snap behaving oddly, change to 3D and then to 2.5D again. That should do (until the next hotfix). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yavannaannavay Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Yes, using Max 2014. The whole gizmo turns white when using 2.5d snap and it behaves like 3d even if I change to 3d and then back to 2.5d. I also reinstalled the program, but the problem remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikosP Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I have a slightly different snap problem, the snap just does not work when switching to Wall objects, while everything else seems to work just fine. 3ds Max Design 2014 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
