Move/Rotate Transforms group Controls the way you can move selected objects with the mouse in a non-orthographic on page 8073 view such as Perspective on page 8087. Intersection Shoots a ray from the mouse point into the screen. This makes moving objects easier, but as you move toward the horizon on page 8005, the object moves great distances. Projection Projects the motion of the mouse onto the plane. This ensures that there are no singularities at the horizon, and that motion is always smooth and stable. However, it can become difficult to move objects when the plane is not parallel to the screen. Persp Sens Sets mouse sensitivity for projection transforms. Rotation Increment Specifies the amount of rotation generated by moving the mouse 1 pixel. Lower this value for angular rotations smaller than the default .5 degrees. The lower this value, the more mouse movement is needed to rotate objects. Viewport Orbit Snap Angle Sets the viewport rotation increment in degrees. Turn on Angle Snap on the main toolbar, and then use Orbit on page 7602 to rotate a viewport. The viewport rotation snaps by the value set here. The Orbit cursor displays a small magnet in the upper left to indicate that Angle Snap is on. MAXScript Preferences Customize menu > Preferences > Preference Settings dialog > MAXScript tab On the MAXScript panel of the Preference Settings dialog, you set MAXScript and Macro Recorder preferences, enable or disable auto-loading of scripts, set the initial heap size, change font style and size used in the MAXScript editor, and manage all the settings for the Macro Recorder. You can also change these settings by editing the [MAXScript] section of the 3dsmax.ini file. 7782 | Chapter 26 Customizing the User Interface
