Splines rendered at thickness of 1.0 and 5.0, respectively
Sides Sets the number of sides (or facets) for the spline mesh n the viewport
or renderer. For example, a value of 4 results in a square cross section.
Angle Adjusts the rotational position of the cross-section in the viewport or
renderer. For example, if the spline mesh has a square cross section you can
use Angle to position a "flat" side down.
Rectangular Displays the spline's mesh shape as a rectangle.
Length Specifies the size of the cross–section along the local Y axis.
Width Specifies the size of the cross–section along the local X axis.
Angle Adjusts the rotational position of the cross-section in the viewport or
renderer. For example, if you have a square cross-section you can use Angle
to position a "flat" side down.
Aspect Sets the aspect ratio for rectangular cross-sections. The Lock check
box lets you lock the aspect ratio. When Lock is turned on, Width is locked
to Length that results in a constant ratio of Width to Length.
Legacy AutoCAD Import
File menu > Import > Legacy AutoCAD (*.DWG)
The new
AutoCAD DWG/DXF Import Options dialog on page 6979 contains
many improvements, including enhanced DWG compatibility and greater
user control and customizability; however, some things were also lost from
the DWG Import found in previous versions of the software. For this reason,
3ds Max retains the legacy DWG Import functionality.
