Region Selection

Hello to all Max users

Region Selection 

It is the fastest way to select multiple objects. Just drag the window around the objects you want to select. Every object inside the window is selected.

There  are two basic methods:

Selection by Window- When we select by window, we must surround objects completely in order to select them.

Selection by crossing- When we select by crossing, we need only to cross the edge of an object in order to select it.

Lock a selection

Hello to all Max users

To lock a selection – Make a selection, click the selection lock toggle in the status bar or press spacebar. The objects stay selected no matter where else you click in the viewports.

To unlock a selection- Click the selection lock toggle in the status bar or press spacebar, now the objects can be deselected.

Objects name

3ds max automatically assigns name to objects based on the object type & the order in which it was created. e.g the first, second & the third box that you create will be named box01, box02, & box03. After you create your objects, it is helpful if you assign more descriptive names so you can find them more easily when your scene gets more complex.
