Better Cut/Quickslice/Slice Plane

Better Cut/Quickslice/Slice Plane

It would be great to have Cut tool/Quickslice that use the "Angle Snap" if enabled to cut at specific precise angles (without need of create point for snaps), it could work either only when MAIUSC it's pressed as for splines.
Either way it would be great to have "X-Y-Z BUTTONS" instead of "Reset Plane" for the Slice Plane for utilize it more quickly, instead of rotating it

Activate Polar snap, that does exactly that (alternatively Ortho snap, if you want only 90° increments).

Yep, But:
1) it works only with QuickSlice not the Cut Tool.

2) In general Polar Snap it's weird If you use It other Snaps are disabled. Enabling MAIUSC Key to use Angle Snaps when needed would be much more usefull.

"X-Y-Z" buttons for the slice plane would be handy indeed because it's quicker than rotate the slice plane with angle snap.

Glad you Appreciate the Idea!
It's simple to implement but could be really usefull for daily work 🙂

Yes, Autodesk definitely needs to update Polar\Ortho snapping modes for more usability. It's cool, but way too limited.

And Maya has similar tool.

3Ds Max lack of an intelligent snap able to recognise perpendicular and parallel points.
Revit has it, Autocad has It, other popular software has It... I do not know why they didn't implement it in 3ds max, that has a so great modeling potential but lacks of a lot of really basic features

Thanks for the idea.

I agree with the request.

A QuickSlice that can work fully orthogonal (or polar related) by just holding 'Shift', 'Ctrl' or any other key. 

We all build boxes as guidelines to do orthogonal cuts, which is tedious.

Thanks.

@Anonymous if you're building boxes just for snapping quickslice, activate ortho snap/polar snap instead (bind it to a shortcut or add it to a toolbar).

@Swordslayer  Thanks!

I didn't know Polar snap.

It shouldn't be so hided in my opinion 🙂

like yes Mayas multicut tool is just state of art. Its ridiculous because Maya isnt even focused on intense session modeling.

pretty similar with this idea Upgrade The Cut Tool

Maybe merge them altogether and combine the Votes ?
