Extruding Problem !

[Kabal88]

Hey guys...

I got a specific Problem in 3DS Max 2009 while extruding sum faces...

As you can see in the picture I wanted to extrude these faces...but I want them to go straight out the Z angle...



In Tools like Wings3D I can set the Angle it will be extruded...
In 3DS Max I just can choose Local, Group, Polygon...which all give me unwanted results...

I already tried to rotate the mesh ^^ so it will may extrude the right way...but it stays in that weird result.

anybody knows what I'm doing wrong?

try with local normal type or move the mesh, no rotate.

however, i think before beginning a complexe modeling like a character, you should work on tutorials, or try the speed modeling for beginner here.
You seems to need lot of tips and help for some basic things in 3ds max.
I know it's boring and i understand you want to do something strong and impressive, but if you've some difficulties to extrude 3 polys...i guess that the whole modeling will be extremly hard for you, and I prefer to not think about the texturing and rendering for now.

I know that's not something you want to ear, but if you don't proceed step by step, there is a risk for you to be put off. :)

I already saw all tutorials and build a weapon for my mod...

See my bonesword ingame of Mount & Blade...



And I can model that helmet I want to ^_^
But it's just that extruding thingie what's disturbing me

And as I said "I just can choose Local, Group, Polygon...which all give me unwanted results..." - Even Local Normal isn't working...

Moving the Mesh won't help, too...I aligned the Mesh to 0x 0y 0z ...dont know what's the problem there

thx for help anyway !
