Height

Posted in: #3dsMax

It's been a few months since I've done any modeling in 3DS Max 2010. When I went to create an object, I noticed something funky about the definition for Length/Width/Height parameters on the right...

I am honestly confused by this. If I remember correctly:

Length should coordinate with the X-axis.
Width should coordinate with the Y-axis.
Height should coordinate with the Z-axis.

Am I thinking wrong or is there something going on here?

Yeap, they are.
It's due legacy. Since for compatibility with old versions it can't be changed in new one it stays so for ages.

But there some Buts:

Each object have a 'pivot' that 'holds' axes and it can be rotated in any way independently from object itself
Even pivot's axes are 'imaginary', they're created for usability
Box is a scripted object, i.e. length is only 'label' of Y axis measure, 99% of modelling time You will no have such values as 'length' (at least I had no for 10 years)

To view local axes switch 'view' on 'local' (dropdown that seen on screenshot).

To move, rotate, scale pivot go Hierarchy tab > Affect Pivot only
