Newbie needs help plez
show user profile  bells2010

hi this is my 1st project! i have to recreate this box in 3d studio max (boring i know). i have gone through the basics on how to use the program but im stuck. I would like some pointers on the best way to model it. I'm really new to this so any help will be appreciated!

I started by making a box, then i measured the box and changed the height/width/length.
Then I chamfered a corner but i got stuck because the chamfer wasnt exactly the same as the box. so i measured the side of the box and put points on where the chamfer starts and ends. i was hoping to connect the points to make a boundary for the corner to chamfer upto but not go further. but i think maybe i'm going about this wrong.

I wouldnt worry too much about precise dimensions. Max isnt really the right program to do that. do it so it looks about right.

Heres where you should be atarting from I think
