turn off tris in your display prefs

Thanks, but could you tell me how to get to my display prefs?

hmm I don't see a check box for tris, could you be more specific, sorry for such a stupid question, its driving me nuts!

Ok you're looking at your Max ui. In your tabbed panels to the right on the 4th tab that looks like a monitor with a little red triangle and cylinder you want to click on it to bring it forward. On the display properties rollout you will see a checkbox called Edges only, click that and it should return your face display to quads.

Yeah tried that, my geometry is still made up of triangles, (a quads split in half diagonaly). When I select faces I get the whole quad though, who knows, thanks anyway.

There's another way. If you are using hardware acceleration, go to Customize, Preferences, Viewports, and Configure Driver.
