freeform questions

so i have some questions about the freeform tool in 3ds max 2017.

first of all i started using this tool to retopologize a high poly sculpt from Zbrush, the first time i used it freeform worked like a charm, but when i returned to redo the retopology things started to not work the same. when i would press Shift + Drag the new geometry would change size depending on how much i zoomed in on the mesh (is this a 'feature' can i turn it off?) and now i cant seem to move individual vertices with CTRL+ALT+SHIFT. i also cant seem to drag a collom over with CTRL+SHIFT. i'm not sure if I've made some silly mistakes or accidentally pressed a hotkey that messed up my freeform. 

 

any ideas as to what i did?

 

 

UPDATE

 

never mind i was being silly, i was still using stripes to draw on the surface and not using extend

hi dear friend that freeform transform method works on open shape not whole close shape delete one face where you want to do that then it works for sure.
