Filtering Track View Display

Filters lets you determine which categories of items appear in Track View. When you click the Filters button, Track View opens the Filters dialog.

Track View > Keys Toolbar (Curve Editor) or Keys Toolbar (Dope Sheet) > (Filters)
Track View > Controllers Toolbar > (Filters)
Track View > View menu > Filters

You can also right-click the Filters button for quick selection of items.

Tip: You can set up a default filter configuration. Open a single Track View, set the filters the way you want them to come up, and close the Track View. Save the (empty) scene as maxstart.max. This scene file is automatically loaded when you start 3ds Max.
