Viewport Configuration

The Viewport Configuration dialog provides controls for setting viewport-control options.

• Click or right-click the General viewport label (“[ + ]”) . > General Viewport Label Menu > Configure Viewports > Viewport Configuration dialog
• With No text active, click or right-click the Shading viewport label ("Realistic" or "Wireframe" by default). > Shading Viewport Label Menu: Nitrous Viewports > Configure > Viewport Configuration dialog
• Default menu: Views menu > Viewport Configuration
• Alt menu: Scene menu > Configure Views > Viewport Configuration

All the configuration options are saved with the MAX scene file. To configure default startup settings for your file, save the scene (empty or not) as maxstart.max in the default Scene folder. If this file exists when you start or reset 3ds Max, the program uses it to determine the viewport configuration and settings.
