View Full Version : Choosing a different Viewport

Like Blender or XSI, does Max also have a way by way of which we don't have to first middle click on a Viewport to make it active before we draw in that?

XSI is so seamless in that. You just take the mouse over a windows and it is ready to work. Max is so irritating and causes issue at times because of this

Please help

there is a script which does this:

I've never tried it though.

This script isn't working with Max 2012 64bit

Maybe later version of Max has changed.

Have you turned on the AutoVP checkbutton? I see no reason it shouldn't work. Nothing has changed in max2012 in that regard.

Check button? Where is this check button? I have placed it in the maxroot/startup scripts.

It should start automatically.

When I move the mouse from one viewport to another, the viewport highlighting doesn't change and I have to middle click the window to get it active. :-(

It does not start automatically. It is a macroscript. You need to drag a button from the customize UI dialog (it's under splutterfish category) to a toolbar.
