BUG 3dsmax2021 - no more possible to duplicate sub-objects ???

NicoC — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 14:28:57 GMT

Hello,

I've recently switched to 3dsmax 2021, and I was really disappointed (to say the least) that it doesn't seem possible to duplicate editable poly's sub-objects using Shift + LMB, whereas it worked for ages !! ... this is what I did:

- select an editable poly object

- switch to any sub-object level, let's say Element

- Shift + LMB and drag in any direction

--> the sub-object is moved, not duplicated !!

Could you please fix this ASAP ??? really annoying ... all the more that this has worked perfectly for ages !

Thank you,

Best regards.

Use CTRL+SHIFT+drag now to duplicate polygon selections. In Editable Poly, they've changed the SHIFT+drag to extrude the selection rather than just duplicate it. It takes a little getting used to, but I will say that I like the new funcionality. Reminds me of the ease of Sketchup modeling.

That new extrude is pretty great, but my muscle memory hasn't updated fully yet either. 😛
