[Closed] Move/Set Coordinate system?

Hi guys,

Is there a way that I can move and rotate the existing coordinate system (like USC in CAD), i cant seem to work out how to do it from the reference document.

All I need to do is move the [0,0,0] pivot point to a new [x,y,z] and rotate current coordinate system axisangle a [b,c,d].

Is this possible in Max?

Any help would be great.

You can create a Grid helper object, rotate that to the angle you want your co-ordinates system at, then if you right click on that helper you can click Activate Grid, and the co-ordins system will be switched to this new grid, you can then change your viewports to be grid views so you can have Grid – top, grid -front etc

You can also set the co-ords system for tranformation to grid.

Hope that helps

Il have a look into that, but it sounds exactly what I want!

Cheers.
