Well I just got max 5 a few days ago and I am having a problem, when I try to edit the mesh and grab an edge like I did in 3 and 4 by draging the pointer over the selected edge, Max selects the adjoining edges as well, this did not happen in my max 3 or 4, I am using 4 till I can get this fixed, can anyone help me?

i think you just have to change the window/crossing option. its in the main toolbar, next to the "select & manipulate" icon.

That would have helped ;)

I thought you were talking about "clicking" an edge, not dragging a box around a couple.

Glad you got it though :beer:

Bluemilk: I assigned mine to space bar (hyper thumb action :) ) anywho, just look under Main UI > All Commands. It's called Maximize Viewport Toggle. Just find the M's.

qu2k: haha... there's still good things about mesh.

Maximize Viewport is now Alt + W in Max5 because Q,W,E,R are now used for the Transform tools.
