Somehow i messed up max and cant get it back. Now all the shapes i draw start out as tri's by default. I would like it to be quads again. Where is the setting for this? thx guys.

Perhaps you are in editable mesh mode. You need to be in 'editable poly mode'. Select your object---> right click---> go to the bottom right yellow square in your quad menu and then click on 'editable poly'. I hope I answered your question.

Open up max.
Go to the Customize menu.
Go to Preferences.
Click on the Viewports tab, at the bottom you'll see a section called Display drivers.
Click on the Configure Driver button.
At the top of the new window you will see a section called Geometry, un-check Display All Triangle Edges.
Click OK.
Done.
You may have to re-start max for the change to take place.
Also, I went through this using the Direct 3D drivers. I didn't try this with OpenGL or the Heidi drivers, but it should work.
Hope this helps.
:)
