Orthographic viewport problems in 3ds max 8

Lonelymonk · Post by **Lonelymonk** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 12:59 pm

Hi All, I hope someone can help me. I am using 3ds max 8 and space navigator is working like a dream in perspective viewports. However if i use an orthographic viewport then as soon as i touch the controller the grid disapears, the viewport switches to a user view and i can no longer create any new geometry in the viewport. If I am creating a new spline at the time then it seems to really lose it, seeming to snap to points far beyond the boundaries of the viewport.

Has anyone else had similar problems or can anyone suggest a solution.

Thanks is advance

Paul

Hi Lonelymonk

What release of 3DxSoftware do you use?

Hi Lonelymonk,

What will be displayed after clicking to the "About..." menu point of the driver GUI?
