Drawing straight walls...

[cullen]

I'm sure that this is something that is going to be something simple. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to make the wall object draw at 90 degree angles. (how a line does when you hold down shift) I can't find an ortho command in max. I know there was one in VIZ. Oh and I'm using MAX 6.

 

Thanks for the help.

Make your grid bigger than your required scene and put on snap to Grid Points, Grid Lines and Perpendicular and you should be OK

 

Hope this helps

Not a direct answer nor an elegant way to do it -

but you could also draw the spline path first (which allows easy 90 degree

turns) and create a wall using the keyboard entry (where you just pick the

spline and walls are automatically created)
