To Create a New Scene

To create a new scene using the File menu:

1. Do one of the following:
   • Select File menu New.
   • Press Ctrl + N.
2. From the submenu or dialog, select one of the listed options:

   New All

   Clears all of the current scene's contents (default).

   Keep Objects

   Keeps the objects in the scene, but removes animation keys and links between objects.

   Warning: Don't use this option if the scene contains linked or imported objects you wish to keep.

   Keep Objects and Hierarchy

   Keeps the objects and hierarchal links between them, but removes any animation keys.

   Note: If the current scene has any file links, 3ds Max performs a Bind operation on all linked files.

   New from Template

   Opens the Template Manager, where you can select from provided sample scenes or a template you created.

3. Click OK (if applicable).
