Customize User Interface Dialog

The Customize User Interface dialog lets you create an entirely customized user interface, including shortcuts, quad menus, menus, toolbars, and colors. You can also add commands and macro scripts by selecting either a text or icon button to represent the command or script on the toolbar.

• Standard menu: Customize menu > Customize User Interface
• Enhanced menu: Customize menu > Customization > Customize User Interface

Most commands in the 3ds Max interface appear in this dialog as actions. An action is simply a command that you can assign to a keyboard shortcut, toolbar, quad menu, or menu. The Keyboard, Toolbars, Quads, and Menus panels of this dialog show lists of actions that you can assign. The lists on the Colors panel contain UI elements instead.

Note: A few actions do not correspond to any elements in the default user interface. See Additional Keyboard Commands.

These are the file formats:

• KBDX Stores custom keyboard-shortcut assignments.
• MUSX Stores custom mouse settings.
• CUIX Stores custom toolbar settings.
• MNUX Stores custom menu settings (both quad menus and pull-down menus).
• CLRX Stores custom color settings.

Note: These file formats supersede the formats used in releases prior to 3ds Max 2013.
