Understanding 3ds max User Interface and
Basic Terminology
TUTORIALS
In this tutorial, you will be learning about the User Interface of
Autodesk 3ds max.
I notice
that when people start learning the 3ds max, they don’t take time to understand the user
interface which is highly recommended.
They just learn some very basic tools and jump into modeling, but before getting into any
subject, you should have basic knowledge of the 3ds max user interface and terminology.
This tutorial will teach you about the user interface and the terminology regarding the
elements of the 3ds max. So let’s get started.
The Caption Bar or The Title Bar
The Caption or the Title bar holds some tools for file handling and info search.

Create Panel
As the name suggests, you can use Create panel to create things like Primitives, Lights,
Cameras Helpers, Spacewarps and so on.
Modify Panel
All the parameters and settings regarding the objects that we create are displayed inside
the Modify panel.
To modify an object, first, select it then go to Modify panel to access the it’s parameters.
Hierarchy Panel
You can manage the hierarchy of the objects with the tools provided inside the hierarchy
panel.
What is Hierarchy in 3ds max?
Whenever we link two or more objects together, it creates the chain of the objects having
Parent-Child relationship with each other. This chain is often called Hierarchy.
Note: Select and Link tool is used to create linking between the objects and Unlink
Selection tool / button is used to break link between the selected objects.
