Beginners in 3ds Max will meet a lot of questions, how can we solve them? Here we listed the most frequently asked questions about 3ds Max, let’s check them out.
Q: How to delete history records in 3ds Max?
A: Click [Customize menu] - [Preference]. When the [Preference settings dialog] pops out, lower the [level] in [Redo] a little bit. At the same time, this can reduce the revoke steps.
Q: What to do if you cannot find the [Command panel] on the right side of 3ds Max?
A: Click [Customize] - [Show UI] - [Command panel], then it will appear again.
Q: How to find the unsaved files again if your computer shuts down all of a sudden?
A: After installing 3ds Max, click [Customize] - [Preference]. Choose the [File] tab in the [Preference settings] pop-up window. Then click [Enale] in the [Auto backup] groups, and adjust [Autobak] and [Backup interval (minutes)] in the lower parts. After setting up, if your computer shuts down out of blue, you can find your files back by clicking [File] - [Open]. Your files will be shown in the [Autobak] folder in [Open file].
Q: Why Texture cannot be seen on models when Boolean is added?
A: Because the axis of Texture will disappear when Boolean is added. Add [UVW Texture] to models if you want to edit the Texture after adding Boolean.
Q: How to input 2D Texture to View as background?
A: Firstly, you can add the background to View in 3ds Max. Press [Alt]+[B], and click [File] in the [Viewport background] pop-up window. Then you can choose the background Texture you want.
If only half of the head sculpture is made, and [Mirror] is used for the other half. How can we combine them together?
After clicking [Mirrior], get them back to 2 groups of [Nurbs] splines. Then choose [surface] and turn it into surfaces (pay attention to the order of Nurbs).
Q: Why the all the models will be selected after the files were transferred from CAD to 3ds Max?
A: This phenomenon is common. Because all the models will become a group after inputting into 3ds Max. To solve this group, some settings need to be done in [AutoCAD DWG/DXF] when inputting the CAD files. You can either choose projects of the same color as a group or divide them by layers as you need.
Notice: When painting in CAD, projects need to be grouped by using different colors or divided by layers.
Q: How to add sections to the new Cylinder, because the Cylinder will be distorted drastically and the surface will be rough when doing large changes? Cause the maximum section is 200, how can I add more?
A: Use [Soft] to create a Cylinder, revise the [Step count] then copy using [Clone]. Then use [Mesh Select] and [Attach] all the Cylinders together to do the bending work.
Q: When making tiles, the render is only one big tile, how can it be multiple small ones?
A: Find [coordinate] in [Material Editor]. You can choose the number of multiples in the [Tile] tab.
Q: Why the lofting surface will be perpendicular to the generated surface when doing [Loft Object]?
A: You may get [Get Path] wrong with [Get Shape].
