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.
