Please, can you add a toggle to snap the pivot in the center of the selected face or edge ?
Thanks in advance...

Download the attachment, Unzip it, go to maxRoot\scripts directory and create folder with name miauuScripts
Then put the two files - mse and mcr to this folder and load the mcr to the max - drag and drop or Maxscript-run. The script have to appera in Customize-Customize User Interace - miauu category.

Something that I want to make for more than half a year, but I don't have time to start with it. :)

Thanks for your time , waiting ............

Ok, I will swap the functionality later this night and will provide a macro, so you can assign a hotkey to the script.

Glad you like it.
If you want I can swap the behaviour - LMB click will works as Shift+LMB.

Thanks

Thank you for your effort , its working in mostd cases , but if holding SHIFT will make it more accurate i think sweeeping will be good idea .

Great

Thank you "miauu" , its working perfectly , just need holding 'SHIFT' if Z axis heading for the top .

Try this script.
- select object
- run the script
- point mouse cursor over geometry object
- the axis tripod will be shown
- when you choose the position of the pivot
-- click with LMB and the pivot will be placed in the same way as the Working Pivot(in some cases the Z axis will not be perpendicular to the face. To test it - use the Working Pivot and move it close to the edges of desired face)
-- hold down shift and click with LMB and the Z axis will be perpendicular to the face no matter where the pivot is(in the middle of the face or close to the edges)
