Max like Photoshop/Quark Guides

[mike_kennedy]

Aside from the user defined grids that are available in max already you could also create a plane object that has vertexes setup the way you like and snap to those.
I have never seen this feature in a 3d package, I have used a few, so perhaps submiting it to the Discreet web board wish list might be an idea.

I dont quite understand you, but might find something like this in sketchup.
Called protractor (construction line) It works as a kind of guide.
Just to note that there is something like this in some 3d program.
