/3/ - 3DCG

in Max, how do I select things so the type-in affects them all individually. the type-in boxes should be completely blank instead of blacked out numbers, and if i were to type, for example 3 into the X type-in, the vertexes would all be moved to 3 on top of each other, instead of moving them by the center of my selection. I've had it before but i don't know how to go back to it.

tl;dr how do I type-in values to move things all to the same value instead of the center of the selection (like in the image)
