3d Low Poly Modeling

3d max help …?

ive been using 3d max for a couple of weeks now and well im not that great at it … (give me a break im 14) but anyways im doing a low poly modeling tutorial … im using planes and i need to move one on the y axis but it is very hard becuase my pretty blue green and red movement thing has gone its just 3 lines that move a object in all 3 directions… i tried reinstalling it but that didnt work either… so how do i either get this back to normal or return everything to defualt… cheerz
show transform gizmo is on and i can only select one driver … tried setting my ui to defualt didnt do anything … when my enternet hurries up ill get you a screenshot!

I think your having the same problem I just ran into.
I’m actually doing a low poly modeling tut. right now and the same thing happened all you see is the axis’ not the transform gizmo. Well heres the answer.. Just simply hit the “x” key on your keyboard. Just one of those annoying shortcuts.

Transform Gizmo Toggle : X

Oh and for future reference heres a site with a list of shortcuts might help sooner or later: http://rupesh-pawar.blogspot.com/2006/12/3d-studio-max-keyboard-shortcuts.html
