Sometimes you need your transform gizmo to be oriented in a certain way, other than the typical orientations, to perform operations like Move, Rotate, and Scale. Starting from Max 2023 we have this nice tool called Snap Working Pivot Tool, that allows us to do that, and it comes with multiple options to help us create and manipulate the working pivot point. Also, in addition to that, it gives us the ability to extract a construction plane out of the created working pivot. This tool is useful in many areas, like transforming objects, rigging, animations, Smart Extrude, etc,...

In this tutorial, we will learn how to exclude objects from the Zoom Extents operation

In this tutorial, we will look at the difference between the regular zoom inside the Vray Frame Buffer, and the Real zoom. The benefit of using Real zoom is that it acts as if you're getting closer to the actual geometries in your scene and rendering them, also, in this mode you can check out other parts of your scene, not included in your actual rendering limits, without the need to mess up your camera location, or, if you're in a perspective viewport, messing up your viewpoint.

In this video, we will see how, when cloning a Group, we can instance the transforms of objects inside the groups. Also, starting from minute 2:08, we will see how we can make the transforms unique again, to avoid issues when, for example, trying to detach an object from a group while its transforms are instanced.
