How to change rotation step?

[Anonymous]

When I rotate anything, it rotates by 5. I want it to be by 1 and sometimes by decimals. How to change it?

5 views of my topic and nobody knows? All just use default rotation by 5 degrees? 

How to rotate objects precisely?

Maybe some people are too busy to answer.

Maybe this can help.

deactivate/activate angle snap.

Right click for options.

More help in the help. http://help.autodesk.com/view/3DSMAX/2017/ENU/index.html?guid=GUID-FC8ED3B1-C327-40AE-851A-C3EBD6158...

Right Click on the Angel Snap Toggle, Set the Angle to 45 or 90 or as you wish to set the rotation.

Is there similar thing for scaling? How to reduce sensitiveness of scaling?

hi dear friend click and hold on scale on you see 3 options choose which suits you best .

thanks

hi, those options don't seem to fix the sensitiveness. I remember in very old 3ds max version 5 or 6 there was some key that allowed to move, rotate and scale slowly holding shift or ctrl or something like that.

Try adjusting this setting.

Also maybe try adjusting mouse sensitivity, sometimes it can be har to hit things with too high sensitivity.

Enjoy.

Tried. Actually rotation thing was resolved. Now it's about scaling sensitiveness.

Thanks for posting, I was looking for a way to get very fine control over rotation increments (the default 0,5 was too much in this case). However, when you change the increments down to a low value, the rotation gets very slow when you need to do higher angles (lots of mouse movement required). It would be nice if there is a modifier button you could press or while rotating to get finer increments without changing preferences. Does it exist already?
