Axis on CAD Plans

[danielrolo]

Good evening and hello to all fellow CG Architects =)

 

 

I am kinda new to the program (came from a looong perion in sketchup) and I am having trouble with 1 simple operation:

When I have a complex CAD plan that involves a lot of angles, assuming I use Rectangle Splines to do my walls and extrude, how do I line up my axis for each time I need a new rectange angle?

In skethcup if I need a rectangle done based on some non axis angle, I can use the "realign axis" command and realign the axis along the lines I need, then the rectangle will come out lined up with the new "temporary" axis...how does something like that gets done in 3dsMax?

 

(TLDR: how to switch my axis so I can make rectangular splines line up with my angular CAD rooms instead of creating the rectangles based on world axis?)

 

Thank you and sorry for the confusing question. Hope you can help!!! =)
