3D Studio MAX Hotkeys and Mouse

Essentials

Posted onJanuary 12, 2007byMike Nuts

When you start out with 3D Studio MAX you will likely start with trying out different tools and

features and the basics. Something that should be included in those basics, but is often left out, isusing hotkeys. As you already know, or will certainly find out soon, creating 3D art is a time-

consuming activity. Using hotkeys and the mouse efficiently can save you tons of time. At firstyou may need to spend some time looking up the hotkey (see printer-friendly version of thistutorial here), but once you memorize them through using them, they will allow you to produce

results at least twice as fast. When you modeling for example (moving, scaling, rotating, etc.),

with one hand on the mouse, you will have your other hand free to press one of the hotkeys.

Lets start with several of the main hotkeys you just cant ignore:

F1Opens 3D Max Reference (Help)

Depending on the feature you are currently working with, it may take you directly to the main

help page regarding that feature.

F2Shade selected faces toggle

When you are in polygon sub-object level and select one or more polygons, they will be shadedentirely (red) by default, like this:

When you press the F2 key you can toggle between the default setting and having only the edges

turn red for select faces/polygons, as shown below. This can be very useful when you havecomplex models.

F3Toggle between Wireframe and Smooth + Highlights

By default, a viewport in 3D Studio MAX will show objects as wireframes. Instead of right-

clicking the viewport and choosing Smooth + Highlights to show the shaded object, you can

simply press the F3 key to set a viewport to Smooth + Highlights as shown below, or back to

Wireframe.

F4View Edged Faces

As you can see in the picture above, when you switch to Smooth + Highlights, 3D Studio MAX

will not show the edges of the faces. By pressing the F4 key, you can have the object display the

edges of all faces, regardless of whether they are selected:

The following two are usually the first two keys I press when starting with a default emptyscene:

GHide/Show Grid

Unless you actually need the grid (e.g. to snap to), it can get in the way. The G key allows you tohide or show it.

JShow Selection Bracket Toggle

The reason for using this key is similar to using the G key. By default, 3D Studio MAX shows a

selection bracket around each select object (unless the viewport is in Wireframe mode). This can

become very annoying, but can easily be removed by pressing the J key.

The following four keys are amongst the first I suggest you start using:

QSelect

Enables the Select tool:

WSelect and Move

Enables the Select and Move tool:

ESelect and Rotate

Enables the Select and Rotate tool:

RSelect and Scale

Enables the Select and Scale tool:

HSelect by Name

Opens the Select by name dialog. This dialog shows a list with all visible objects in the scene.When you need to attach or link objects for example, and there are many objects in the scene,selecting by name can make things a lot easier.

CTRL-ASelect all

CTRL-DDeselect all

Spacebar Selection Lock toggle

This key can be useful sometimes, but annoying more often. When you try to select a certain

object and a different object remains selected, press the Spacebar key because you probablyalready hit it by accident and locked your selection.

1 to 5Sub-object level X

This is another good example of a real timesaver. Instead of using the mouse button to select a

sub-object level of an Editable Poly for example, you can press one of the following keys.

1Vertex

2Edge

3Border

4Polygon

5Element


4/31

These allows you to quickly change between the sub-object levels, e.g. move a vertex, than scale

a polygons, chamfer a line, etc.

7Polygon counter

The 7 key allows you to display a polygon counter in the upper left of the upper left viewport:

8Open Environment and Effects Dialog

Viewport Hotkeys

FSwitch to the Front viewport

T

Switch to the Top viewport

LSwitch to the Left viewport

RSwitch to the Right viewport

PSwitch to the Perspective viewport

BSwitch to the Bottom viewport

CSwitch to a Camera viewport

CTRL-CCreate camera from viewport

Creates a new Camera, work only on Perspective viewports.

VOpen view shortcut menu

Allows you to pick a view from a list (using another key again of course). For example, press the

V key and then the K key for Back view.

ZZooms in on the current selection

CTRL-XToggle Expert mode

Removes command panels, toolbars, etc. and leaves you only with viewports. Dont even think

about using this unless you know your hotkeys.

ALT-QIsolate Object
http://www.3dvalley.com/images/3DStudioMAXHotkeysandMouseEssentials_2170/clip_image007.gifhttp://www.3dvalley.com/images/3DStudioMAXHotkeysandMouseEssentials_2170/clip_image007.gif


5/31

Isolates the object you selected and hides all others. This is a great feature for when you work

with a scene or object consisting of many individual objects. Unfortunately, it does not work forsub-object selections such as a group of polygons. If you got used to hiding and unhiding objects,

this option will definitely save you a lot of time.

O

Adaptive Degradation Toggle

Shows objects as boxes while moving, rotating, zooming on viewport to increase viewportperformance. I hardly ever use this one, but its one of those darn keys you may hit by accidentand wonder what the heck is going on with your objects.

XTransform Gizmo Toggle

Another good example of a key you may hit by accident and wonder why you cannot move,

scale, rotate, etc. anymore. Pressing X will change the gizmo from

to:

DDisables the viewport

Although this one can be useful, it is also one I occasionally press by accident. Press the D keyagain to disable/enable the viewport.

Shift-Z / Shift-YUndo /Redo viewport operation

Undo operations such as switching to a different view, rotating, zooming or moving through

viewport.

+ andIncrease/decrease Gizmo size

The following are three rendering related hotkeys I used the most:

F9Render last rendered viewport, or, in case of the first render, render selected viewport.

Shift-QQuick render, renders selected viewport.

F10Opens the Render Scene window allowing you to set rendering options.

MOpens the Material Editor

6/31

CTRL-VClone object

Although holding down the Shift key and moving, rotating, or scaling an object also allows you

to create a clone, by using CTRL-V you can create a clone on the exact same location and of the

same size as the original.

Alt-XDisplay As See-Through Toggle

By pressing the ALT-X keys you can display an object as see-through, partly transparent. This is

useful for when you need to see the model sheet/reference/blueprint or other models/geometrythrough it.

The following three are useful for while working with an Editable Poly:

Alt-LSelect Edge Loop

This is the same as pressing the Loop button in the Editable Poly section when you are in Edge

sub-object level.

ALT-CCut

Enables the Cut tool, which you can use to draw edges on polygons.

SHIFT -E / ALT-E Extrude poly

Enable the Extrude tool.

The hotkeys mentioned in this tutorial are just a small subset of the available hotkeys in 3D

Studio MAX. And additional or different hotkeys can be available depending on what featuresyou are using. If you search for Default Keyboard Shortcuts in the 3D Studio MAX user

reference, you should be able to find a complete overview.

In addition to the default keyboard shortcuts, you can use the following procedure to create a

custom keyboard shortcut:

1. Choose Customize menu > Customize User Interface > Keyboard panel.

2. Use the Group and Category lists to find the action for which you want to create a shortcut.

3. Click action in the Action list to highlight it.

4. In the Hotkey field, enter the keyboard shortcut you want to assign to the action.

5. Click Assign.

Using the Mouse Efficiently

Just as important as using hotkeys is for working efficiently, using the mouse properly can be a

huge timesaver as well. Using the primary mouse button frequently (thats the left button for themost of us) is mandatory when you use 3D Studio MAX but the others (middle, and right for

example) are just as useful.

Lets start with the secondary mouse button (usually the right-mouse button). The most common

purpose of this button is opening the shortcut menu. For example, if you right click on the nameof the viewport (e.g. Front, Left, and Perspective) a popup menu appears allowing you to

perform several tasks related to the viewport. For many of these options, you should use hotkeys

such as mentioned above, but for other options, such as the Properties of the viewports, its still

an useful menu. More useful though, is the main shortcut menu that opens when you right-clickon the viewport:

Some of the options on this menu I use frequently are:

- Unhide/Hide selected/unselected, by name, all

- Convert to Face/Vertex/Edge

This converts, for example, a selection of vertexes to a selection of edges. It does not actually

change the geometry of your model; it merely changes the sub-object level and remembers the

selection.

- Save and manage Scene States (very useful!)

Another common task for the right mouse button is to open the shortcut menu of a selected

object, e.g. to manage its Properties.

Some less common use of the right-mouse button:

- Right-click the Undo or Redo to see and select a list of undo/redo actions.

- Right-click a spinner to reset it to zero.

- Right-click a color or map slot to cut/clear/copy/paste it.

The middle mouse button I use more often than the right mouse button, especially during the

modeling process, and saves me a huge amount of time. The following are the most commontasks I perform with the middle mouse button:


8/31

- Hold it to drag/move through viewport. This saves time because you dont have to switch your

current tool to the Pan View tool (little hand) at the right bottom of the interface and switch itback to the tool you were using.

- Hold it while also holding the ALT key to rotate the viewport, this saves time because you

dont have to switch your current tool to the Arc Rotate tool at the right bot tom of the interface(which you could do with CTRL-R if you dont have a middle mouse button).

- Since my middle button is also a scroll wheel, I use it to zoom in and out on the viewport. If

you hold the ALT key, you can zoom in more gradually.

If you merely read this article/tutorial, I suggest reading it again and trying the different hotkeys

and mouse operation. It will change the way you work with 3D Studio Max and you will be able

to produce a lot more results in the same amount of time. Below is a link to a printer-friendlyPDF version of this tutorial. Have fun!
