In a previous tutorial: https://youtu.be/ZDW0SOLPtrk I've done 3 years ago,
I explained a technique to Rotate And Scale an object using Snap, where the snapping point can be on the object itself or on another object. In Max 2023 that technique doesn't work anymore. This tutorial will show you another way to do that, using the working pivot.

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,...

This is a two-part tutorial on how to model a simple chair. You will learn multiple tools and techniques regarding polygon modeling. In this first part, we will model the upper part.

Here we learn how to use the section tool found in the Shapes category to create 2D sections out of 3D objects and export them to other programs like Autocad.
