Max inciting me to murder. Viewport problems *Fixed*

[Defrag]

Yay it's time for another "max decided I hit a random hotkey and fucked something up" post. All of my viewports are rendering the current scene as bounding boxes when I move the camera. I've looked in all of the viewport configuration screens and I can't find a single checkbox that has "bounding box" checked, including rendering methods and general/active degradation.

Help please. I don't want no stinkin' bounding boxes to be rendered when I move the camera -- I want to see what i'm doing!

Gotta love these hotkey problems, i get them myself all the time. You learn a lot of them tho :wink:

[Defrag]

I learn to murder. Twenty seven people have died so far. The bodycount will rise still further. One kill per hotkey-that-enables-fucking-stupid-functionality-hidden-in-some-submenu-in-random-menu-screen-that-i-can't-find incident. Max is easily the worst program I've ever seen for this shit. By far.

Will you be my next victim? Find out.. tomorrow.

haha i remember this driving me nuts too once

I can only agree with you! It might be the same action we are talking about, but I have found that just pressing "z" resets your viewports and fixes all problems.

pressing z focusses the camera on the object you have selected . a very useful button!. I probably press it several times per minute when working in max

You know, the ones who knows a lot of these useful hotkeys should create a goddamn thread about hotkeys. Giving a simple list of useful ones would help us with less experience a lot.

the same thing happened to me in photoshop when I hit capslock and almost re-installed the damn program becuase my brush cursers were gone.

Oh and I do the same thing in maya where I will accidentall close a really important shelf of buttons and then have to spend 20 minutes digging in the prefrences and view options tring to figure out how to get them back.

shit like this happens to me all the time, i think its p in photoshop that hides most of the bars, drove me crazy for a while. that, and in hammer shift + w ignores the grid which drove me quite batshit
