MAX Commands in MAXScript

In addition to controlling modeling and animation, MAXScript scripts can invoke 3ds Max menu and toolbar commands. You do this using the "max" keyword.

FOR EXAMPLE

   max file open
   max unhide all
   max quick render

The keyword max is followed by one or more words that describe the command. The available commands can be displayed by using the "?" character in a partial max command.

FOR EXAMPLE

   max time ? --shows all the time-related commands
   max sel ? --shows all the commands with ’sel’ in them as a substring
   max ? --shows all the commands (there are a lot)

For a complete list of max commands, see the MAX Commands topic.
