On the DVD
You can find a reference of the available default keyboard shortcuts, “3ds Max 2011 Keyboard Shortcuts,”
on the DVD. n

Customizing toolbars
You can use the Customize User Interface dialog box’s Toolbar panel to create custom toolbars. Figure 4.2
shows this panel.

FIGURE 4.2
The Toolbars panel in the Customize User Interface dialog box enables you to create new toolbars.

The Toolbars panel of the Customize User Interface dialog box includes the same Group and Category
drop-down lists and command list as the Keyboard panel. Clicking the New button opens a simple dialog
box where you can create and name the new toolbar. The Delete button lets you delete toolbars. You can
delete only toolbars that you’ve created. The Rename button lets you rename the current toolbar. The Hide
option makes the selected toolbar hidden.
Use the Load and Save buttons to load and save your newly created interface, including the new toolbar, to
a custom interface file. Saved toolbars have the .cui extension.
After you create a new toolbar, you can drag the commands in the Action list to either a new blank toolbar
created with the New button or to an existing toolbar. By holding down the Alt key, you can drag a button
from another toolbar and move it to your new toolbar. Holding down the Ctrl key and dragging a button
retains a copy of the button on the first toolbar.
If you drag a command that has an icon associated with it, the icon appears on the new toolbar. If the com-
mand doesn’t have an icon, then the text for the command appears on the new toolbar.
