Who fancies Intersection Snap to be included in 3ds Max ??

[JezUK]

I couldn't believe Intersection Snap is not available for free with such a mature piece of modelling software......

So I looked to see if there were any scripts written that I could use - yep, at ?40 for a lifetime purchase...... (?40 just to *snap* to an intersection !!!!).

So, I headed over to Autodesk's forum and suggested it as an idea.

Please could I ask for some support (Kudo's) on the said forum

It's already looking promising, with 8 kudo's points, but a ton more would certainly do no harm

Thanks

Got my vote, however, they might break the other snaps while doing it.

LOL !

Not only that, they'll probably break other stuff too.... but hey, don't worry, it'll get sorted in 3DS Max 2025 SP2

I can't use 2018, can you?

I thought 2017 was stable, so I jumped to it from 2014 (and after a few projects was confident enough to finally uninstall 2014), but recently I have downgraded my confidence in it again - I'm constantly manually having to save every time I do really simple stuff with splines and moving around in my viewport.... I get sudden Fatal Errors.....

I tried 2018, but last time I tried I was having viewport issues, things like the sizes of vertices, thicknesses of lines, that kind of stuff and it was frustrating so I went back to 2017....... I really question how the hell such a company is *allowed* to charge for software this unreliable.....

Their revenue is on the rise, so they have no reason to change what they are doing. It's going to take a strong competitor to come along and start taking market share. However, Autodesk would probably just buy them up. Having no options suck.

I already submitted this idea here : https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/3ds-m.../idi-p/6784095

they also don't have a simple feature as rotating or flipping value in like the output resolution or uv map, they will take years to add that feature

There is a cheaper alternative www.vg2max.spb.ru/twops.htm

That ain't cheap and it doesn't work.

Even if VG Snap did work, I think that these basic snapping modes should be a core function of the software, not something provided by a third-party plugin.
