Hello, I'm making a new gun in 3dsmax (browning 1922). I've seen some demo's about it and I read a tutorial. Now I'm trying to make it but I have a problem, please check the screenshots. http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/7011/gun1jo6.jpg http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/4179/gun2nz8.jpg If I make a new box on the highlighted area how can I place it against box4? I don't have a grind like in radiant. Can someone help me?

Personally, I would have made box 4 an edittable poly and then created everything from it by extruding the faces.

What you can do is something called Weld. I don't have Max installed at the moment, but I think you may be able to weld the verticies from each box to another. So try makign each box an edittable poly and then weld the appropriate vertiies.

I'll see if I can get Max on later and give you siome screenshots if you need more help.

Maybe you should try looking around the net for 3Dmax tutorials? I believe 3DMax itself came with a rather good help function, including a walkthrough in making models.

Well I found one and I'm trying to build it with the help of that one. Here is the link: http://www.3dtotal.com/team/tutorials/polgun/gunmodel.asp What am I doing wrong? :(

I think I need to try it in another way. I'm making plane models now which I can thicken later on. Now I've made the first 2 rows. When I try to make the third row, it goes vertical in steat of following the line (see screenshot). Does someone know how I fix this? http://img74.imageshack.us/img74/4703/gun4em4.jpg

Well I've found a way to do it now. I just fill up the whole space with planes, this may not be straight but it's good enough. Now my move tool disappears for some reason: http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/7963/gun5ii7.jpg Normally it has a thick red green and blue part. Now it has 2 small red and 1 small grey part...
