Okay,
I am running houdini 7
1)How do i extrude 2 adjoining polygons as a aingle surface as in max?

2)How do I display all three handles in edit model
(scale/transform/rotate)?

3)Is it possible for me to export to max or do I need a plugin?

Any help is appreciated
Thanks in Advance

I figured out what i was doing wrong.
you have to turn on heep localised points or something like that available in the polyextrude parameters
Hope it helps

2) You can't. One can quickly switch between them using the E, R, and T hotkeys.
3) I think we're mostly looking a geometry. Can max import .obj files?

Thanks for the reply Edward,
Yes there is a free plugin that allows me to import obj files into max.
But I have no experience what so ever about this file type.
Will the import have all the polygons I have in my object ie will I be able to edit in editpoly mode.
How do I export from Houdini as an obj file?

Your first question I think depends on your importer. The .obj file format output from Houdini will contain polygons, uv's (point), and “shading groups”. To export, you can right-click on the SOP you want to export and choose “Save Geometry…”, give it a filename that ends in .obj (lowercase).
