Learn through the tips below some basic settings that can help you use 3Ds Max more productively!
1- Undo (Ctrl Z)
It is important to define the limit of times that it is possible to execute the Undo command (go back) in a 3D file.
For that:
It will open the Preference Settings screen and in → General → Scene Undo Level → 500;
2- Comprimir o arquivo
Enough:
- With the same Preferences Settings open, go to: Files → and activate the Compress on Save option.
3- AutoBackup
It is also important to activate Autobackup, this means that even if you forget to save the file for some reason, an automatic copy will be saved.
- After set the Number of backup files to 10; and the Backup Interval (minutes) to 20.
This means that every 20 minutes 10 backup copies will be saved in the software’s internal backup.
4- ViewPorts
In ViewPorts, just make sure that the Selection/Previem Highlights option is disabled, as this, in turn, ensures that when you hover the mouse over an object, it does not get a bright mark, which can get in the way when there are many objects in the scene. !
5- Gamma and LUT
In Gamma and LUT, make sure that Enable Gamma/LUT Correction is turned on and that with active Gamma it is set to 2.2.
6- View of Materials
To leave the Material Editor correctly configured, go to:
The screen shown in the figure below will open, where in Default setting: select Max.Legacy
And in User interface schemes: select DefaultUI
If the software crashes, it’s normal, just close and reopen 3Ds Max and everything will be back to normal.
7- Software Units
One of the most important settings is the drawing unit you will be working in.
Select Metric → Centimeters, which is the drawing unit used in architecture. But it depends on your preferences and where you are.
Still in System Unit Setup:
8- Object selection marking.
This action will activate the white lines around the selected object, showing that it is selected, this helps to better locate the objects within the scene.
