• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hello I was working on a Ground Polygon and without knowing it, I made a big crazy model
I was in TOP ortho view so it didn't appear when I was editing, 4 hours of work non-stop is just gone :(

is there a way to flatten my model? to put every vortex in the scene to position z = 0

I searched for max scripts but nothing helped

please help
thnx in advance :)

the non uniform-scaling and then put z to 0% doesn't work?

Crtl+A,
select "non unform scaling"
enter the wanted absolute dimenstion in the axis, you want to change, like in the Z input field enter 0

you can also select the offset mode butten left to the 3 axis input boxes, then you get the little arrows and free put it up and down...
or use the arrows to modify the model inside the viewport, which in my case currently are not shown... fuck, not again^^

>> IF SOMEONE ACCIDENTELY KNOWS THIS... HOW CAN I GET THE 3D edit axis arrows thing BACK TO MAX?? The 2nd time this happened.....

sorry for bothering your thread for my issue^^ ;) must be a bug.... It's max 2018

Just to weigh in on the subject as another method - if you are working with editable polys - in vertex mode select all and in the edit poly dropdown look for "Planar" and press the "Z" button

Click to expand...

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. Ctrl-Shift-X should bring it back, or hide it again... It’s called the Gizmo and another way to hide or reveal it is on the View menu.
