Transform accuracy

[RealViz]

Hi, would it be possible to add to the accuracy of the transforms? For example, if I am distributing seats in a stadium and I want to rotate them slightly (for a more realistic look) even a 1° tilt is too much. Would it be possible to enter values in tenths/sevenths? Thank you

Hi,

You should be able to use significantly lower values, corresponding to the units defined in the Customize > Units Setup window. If you're using the Numeric Operator, please ensure it is set to the Float or Scene Units type (not Integer). That should help.

Best regards,

Yes I also thought it was by assigning a different operator. Unfortunately neither works for some reason. Not a problem with you in "." and "," we use Czech environment. Anyway, I also tried "." and ",".
Everything works OK in the whole 3ds max environment. Just not for transform FP :-(

My apologies, I didn't realize that this is the Forest Pack Pro board. I was mistakenly thinking about the RailClone plug-in.

As you've noted, Transform spinners handle integer numbers, which are generally precise enough for random values within that range. However, for cases requiring a very small range, there's a simple workaround using Effect for such scenarios. I've attached a simple example of the "realNumberRandomRotation" effect for randomizing the Z Rotation (similarly applicable to other axes if necessary) using real numbers.

I hope that helps.

Best regards,
