You use the Display panel, layers, and Scene Explorer to control how objects are displayed in viewports, and to hide or freeze objects. This section covers usage of the Display panel controls.
Display Color Rollout
The Display Color rollout specifies whether 3ds Max displays objects using their wireframe colors (also known as object colors) or their diffuse material colors, when the objects have their display properties set to By Object.
Hide By Category Rollout
The Hide By Category rollout toggles the display of objects by category (objects, cameras, lights, and so on).
Hide Rollout
The Hide rollout provides controls that let you hide and unhide individual objects by selecting them, regardless of their category.
Freeze Rollout
The Freeze rollout provides controls that let you freeze or unfreeze individual objects by selecting them, regardless of their category.
Display Properties Rollout
The Display Properties rollout provides controls for altering the display of selected objects.
