  • Comprises six user-interface panels: create panel, modify panel, hierarchy panel, motion panel, display panel, and utilities panel


create panel




provides the controls for creating objects. This is the first step in building a new scene in 3ds Max.


display panel

provides access to tools that control the display of objects in the scene.


hierarchy panel


provides access to tools to adjust the hierarchical linkage between objects.

3DS Max Snapping

2D Snapping -  snapping on same plane Z axis 2.5  D Snapping  - Sanpping objects in space as if they are on the same level Top Viewport; not perspective viewport this Top Viewport works because of the axis these objects are in.\ 3D Snapping -  Move object in space to exact x, y, and z coordinate Its a generalized snapping method. That isn't as controlled as 2D and 2.5 D Rotational Snap Toggle  2D Snap The cursor snaps only to the active construction grid, including any geometry on the plane of that grid. The Z axis, or vertical dimension, is ignored.  2.5D Snap The cursor snaps only to the vertices or edges of the projection of an object onto the active grid. Suppose you create a grid object and make it active. You then position the grid object so you can see through the grid to a cube further off in 3D space. Now with 2.5D set, you can snap a line from vertex to vertex on the distant cube, but the line is drawn on the active grid. The effec...
