Use Selection Center

Command entry: Main toolbar (Use Selection Center), on Use Center flyout

The Use Selection Center button, available from the Use Center flyout , lets you enable rotation or scaling of one or more objects around their collective geometric center. If you transform multiple objects, 3ds Max calculates the average geometric center of all the objects and uses that for the transform center.

The axis tripod shows the center that is currently being used.

Note The transformation center mode is set on a transform-by-transform basis, so select the transform before you select the center mode. If you do not want the center setting to change, turn on Customize menu Preferences General tab Reference Coordinate System group Constant.

With the Selection Center option, an averaged coordinate system is used to rotate the objects.

[3ds Max] Use custom working pivot without affecting the transform center

Hi, I have a cylindrical shape (made from loops of polygons) that I’m edge-extruding, using a side profile reference,
following these steps:

  • select the last edge loop,
  • shift-drag it to the next position
  • use the scale tool to uniformly resize it, to match the profile curve

For example, if I had to model a trumpet cone from a side profile, I would extrude an edge loop horizontally, scale it uniformly to match the current hole size, and repeat.
In my case I have a rather small profile, and a big cylinder, so I’m using a working pivot near to the reference to be able to see the pivot and the profile in the same view.
My problem is that if this works fine with the move tool, I can’t say the same for the scale tool, which uses the working pivot as transform center.
Can I use a working pivot together with the «use selection center» option?

If this is 3ds Max, look in the Preferences for the option that keeps a consistent transform center. On my phone, can’t recall the exact wording. Its a checkbox.
