Browsing Help Topics
 
 
 

The title bar of a topic contains browse buttons and contextual links.

You can use the three buttons in the upper-right corner of the Topic pane to browse the help. The button with the left arrow goes to the previous topic and the button with the right arrow goes to the next topic. The upward-pointing arrow goes to the parent topic; if there is no parent, this button is blank.

When you move your cursor over one of these buttons, the browser displays the name of the topic that the button points to.

The other three buttons at the upper right of the title bar provide additional controls:

In addition, for topics not at the top level, a series of links appears above the topic title. These show the path of the topic within the 3ds Max help.

The first link on the left is the chapter (top-level topic) that contains the topic you are reading. If there are additional container topics, these appear in order after the chapter link. Click any one of these links to go directly to the topic it names.
