Move gizmo, can not move freely in two axis!

[dishankF89QA]

when multiple objects are selected, must move from gizmo yellow area otherwise it stuck to one axis only

this was not he case in 3Ds max 2023 just noticed this 2024. I am talking about moving clicking any part of your selection especially while zoomed in. can not zoom out and click on yellow box of move gizmo every time.

I tried both Max 2023 and Max 2024 and can't reproduce the issue. While that doesen't mean it isn't one, it does on some level confirm that the functionality has not been changed in Max 2024. 

There are a number of other factors that can possibly cause this I'd suspect. Have you tried resetting the piviot on each of the multiple objects to make sure they are aligned in the same way? Have you collapsed the stacks of all to see if something in the stack is preventing the expected behavior? Have you tried the Axis Snaps lock (see attachment) to see if that helps?

If you still can find a solution, you can try an ENU reset (save your current one so you can get back to it) to see if a fresh ENU works as expected. Then if so, something in your current configuration is causing the issue. An ENU reset might be your fix. 

When I've had issues like this come up and not enough time to diagnose or fix so what I've done is select the multiple objects and then move the 'Working Pivot' to the spot I need to zoom into. Then set it to 'Use' it and zoom in. I'd make my changes, zoom out and release the Working Pivot and keep going. 

Another way is to select an 'XForm' modifier and add it to the multiple object selection. Move that XForm to the zoom in spot, tweak and then delete or collapse the XForm. 

Lastly, zoom in, use the spinners to move, and done. Not the same as dragging the mesh, but it works in a crunch when finishing the project is more important than spending half a day diagnosing.

Thank you for the brief explanation of the issue, but all solution are temporary, I will try ENU reset.

That is not the case, The exact problem is in 4 view ports layout when I move by mesh it does not work, how ever if I zoom out or maximize the view port (alt+w) it starts behaving properly, I am using 3Ds max 2024. Kindly try a mesh in edit poly mode, keep the layout 4 views, in front view zoom in mesh without selecting the gizmo, try moving the the mesh or element it will move only in one axis.

Hello, That is not the case, The exact problem is in 4 view ports layout when I move by mesh it does not work, how ever if I zoom out or maximize the view port (alt+w) it starts behaving properly, I am using 3Ds max 2024. Kindly try a group, keep the layout 4 views, in front view zoom into mesh, try moving the the mesh or element it will move only in one axis.

this mesh I imported from rhino it is a group of mesh however it works fine when zoomed out.

A few questions:

1. You didn't report back your results with an ENU Reset. 

2. What are you machine specs? 

3. Have you tried a new scene with just a couple Max objects (no imported Rhino objects) to see if they behave normally?

I've tried to reproduce the issue and can't. I attached a video showing things working normally. I also attached an image showing you a few things to check. 

Lastly, can you upload the file that is misbehaving so it can be looked at?

1. ENU reset did not solve it.

2. Dell optiplex 9020, i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz, DDR4 12.0 GB, Windows 10 Pro 21H2.
