Script

Rotates your top view to your selection. Go to top view, select 1 edge or 2 verts, run the script (and switch to coordinate system "screen" if you like). Click once to align horizontal, click again to align vertical. Good for architectural modeling with non-orthogonal walls.

yes, real08121985 please add more functionality.
we need to be able to draw using this new aligned view
k2000 · 2012-08-23
problems...
I aligned the view using the script - good!
But it made no sense - all new geometry I'm trying to make (box, etc) is glued to original coordinate system. View rotation doesn't help... (((

Hi k2000,
this script don't roteate default max grid, only active view.
This may be new to-do task for the author.
For this you can use grid helper and align it to selected edge (position and orientation)when view is rotated.
By the way, this is very nice tool.
Thanks!

max9 can not use this plug-in hope of change to change it Thank you
real08121985 · 2012-07-20
Not possible, the necessary maxscript function is only available in 3ds Max 2008 and higher.
<boolean>viewport.rotate <quat> [center:<Point3>]
Available in 3ds Max 2008 and higher.
Ačiū!

very useful tool, here i have some suggestions:
1 - switch to Screen coordinates automatically on script run
2 - support for edit / editable spline if it possible
3 - 3rd click - revert from Orthogonal view
thanks a lot
Thanks

Спасибо. Очень полезный скрипт.
real08121985 · 2012-07-16
пожалуйста
Cool script.

One suggestion, or better yet, feature:
It is possible to rotate the object to world space by selecting the rotated face? Like in your example the face would point to +Y. If yes, could you make a script that does that? :)
Just a thought :)
That takes the idea out of
real08121985 · 2012-07-13
I think the 3ds max normal align tool is doing that.

Hi. Thanks for the script. Have a question:
At me the script only works in a top view of the ..
Is it possible to make it work in other orthographic species?
Thanks
real08121985 · 2012-07-13
I'm sure that is possible, but did not had the time yet to look into other viewports.

Good idea... thanks for share....
