Yeah, you need to go to customize/customize user interface. Then go to for example toolbars. Group: Main ui Category: Meshtools. From here you can make a new toolbar, or drag'n drop the functions you need unto and old toolbar.

Hope that helps :)

We really need a sticky thread about meshtools.... Mods?

Make sure you're in editable poly mode NOT editable mesh. You can also put them in quads.

you also need ot remember to save and load the custom ui once you have loaded up the toolbar. This will allow you to have the layout as a default when you start max.

adding them to a quad with an easy shortcut like ctrl-right click is my usual method. I thne play around with other stuff on the same quad (like putting save & save incremental on one of the panels which reminds me to save more often,) & then to finish up I bind keyboard shortcuts to the most used tools like edge ring select, edge loop select, connect & divide etc. Nice quick workflow.
