Max2016 - Select and link auto inherit

Anonymous — Wed, 16 Dec 2015 12:36:24 GMT

Since Max2016, I can't get on with linking at all - It's a total nightmare.

When linking one object to another, the scale (for example) isn't inherited relatively. So basically any linking rescales, moves and rotates the objects as it sees fit.

A simple example: Make two spheres the same size. Scale one up (150%). Link the 100% sphere to the 150% sphere and boom. The 100% sphere scales up to the size of 150% but is still at 100% internally. You now have two spheres the same visual size, one at 100% and one at 150%.

..Now of course this might end up in a discussion about hierarchy, transform inheritance, and good practices but fundamentally working in this enforced way is really painfull - I MUCH preffered how it was in all previous versions.

Can anyone please confirm that this has been deliberately changed since max2015 please?

Same problem here.

Complete nightmare virtually impossible to work 😞

Has something been changed or is it a bug? Is there a hidden flag somewhere?

Is anyone not having this problem?

Same problem here, it's really frustrating! I'm uninstalling SP2 and EXT2 until this is fixed. I just can't work with Max because of it.
