how to create lines of a defined length?

[tsuzukiasato]

hi! in max 3d studio... how do you give a precise length to the line that you are creating?e..c there is a quick command to give the length to the forms while creating (such as in autocad or archicad, for example.. while you are creating a wall fits the size with the keyboard). . .
Thank you so much! :

3d studio is not a cad, so forget the functions of cad.
the ways to create precise length lines there are different, but not even a comfortable one like in cads and few that allow you to make angled lines and to measure.
Specify it in 2 rows is not simple, according to the question you have asked means that you are brand new of the program, the best advice I can give you is to read the 3d studio guide where there are similar basic tutorials; In addition if you are looking on the net there are tutorials to learn how to use 3d studio.
But if you want to use it as a cad, you have wrong software.

thank you so much! however we say that I use it in mix to the cad... to create strange objects or rooms... and probably use them both improperly. . But it is the only ones that have happened to me under my hand and I begin to learn how they work... before, if you want to get me a better software, I accept advice

draws the plants in autocad and then import them into 3ds and then extrude them... is easier than you think...
