Show Pie Slice When on, a shaded pie slice acts as a visual indicator of the direction and amount of rotation. NOTE If you rotate more than 360°, the slice overlaps and the shading becomes increasingly intense. Angle Data When on, numerical feedback appears in the viewport during single-axis rotation, indicating the amount of rotation around the X, Y, or Z axis. Rotation Method Sets the rotation method for the gizmo: ■ Linear Roll: Rotate the virtual trackball by dragging in a single direction, tangent to the Rotate gizmo. NOTE A tangent handle appears to show the best direction to drag the mouse. ■ Circular Crank: Rotate the virtual trackball by dragging around the Rotate gizmo, in a circular manner. ■ Legacy R4: Turns off virtual trackball behavior, and uses the rotation method from 3ds Max 4. Planar Angle Threshold Determines when the Circular Crank rotation method automatically switches to Linear Roll to prevent loss of control over the gizmo. This occurs when a Primary axis is nearly 90 degrees to the view plane, making it different to circle around. Any angle to the view plane that is higher than this setting will use Crank mode, but any angle equal to or less than this setting will always function as a Linear Roll. Scale Gizmo group Relative Size (%) Sets the size of the Move gizmo, relative to the Size value of the Transform gizmo. Range= 0.0 to 500.0. Uniform Handle Size (%) Sets the size of the handle for uniform scaling (the distance from the transform center to the edge of the uniform handle), as a percentage of the scale gizmo size. 2-Axis Handle Size (%) Sets the size of the handle for non-uniform scaling along 2-axes (the distance from the edge of the uniform handle to the edge of the 2-axis handle), as a percentage of the scale gizmo size. Uniform 2-Axis Scaling Forces scaling using a 2-axis plane handle to be uniform. Gizmos Preferences | 7781
