Hello im doing a tutorial about an apartment and i cant copy the border holding the shift key.The tutorial says “Delete the polygon resulted from connecting the edges in previous step. Select the Border and holding down Shift copy it to create a thickness for the window."What is the command to copy it?it must be done like in the pic i put here,any help thanks.

Shift+Move it. In other words, pretend you’re actually moving the border (presumably inwards) but hold Shift before you click/drag.

If in doubt, try it on a simple Plane (3*3 segments) with the central poly deleted first. Then apply the procedure to your model.

Note. This is a Modeling question which is relevent to any version of Max - it is not 2012 specific and should, more appropriately, have been posted in the Modeling forum (unless you’re saying it worked in a previous release, of course).



Max 4.2 through 2013.
XP-64 (SP2)
NVidia 9800GTX-512 (Driver 266.58).
Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz, 8Gb Ram, DX9.0c.
