I don't think rotating WHILE selecting is possible.. And I don't don't really see the advantage of it too. In what kind of situation would you want to use it?Comment
-
well, i don't think it's possible either, but it would be useful to be able to rotate an object while creating polys and splines...kind of like a spacemouse or something...Comment

I just want to thank gilicom for this most awsome tip. It's changed the way that I use Max, and it's kept me from needing other modelers so much. Definately the most useful tip that I've used since Max 1.press & hold iComment

Along these same lines (and possibly posted in the tips & tricks thread) is the preference setting that zooms about the mouse point in orthographic views (Customize>Preferences>Viewports). Then you can use the mousewheel to zoom in/out and the camera repositions as you zoom, allowing you to do the same thing pressing 'i' does, perhaps a bit more interactively.Comment
