Contents panel
When a scene is saved, a summary list of everything contained in the scene
is generated and displayed in the Contents tab. If a scene has not been saved,
the Contents tab remains empty.
NOTE There is currently a bug in Windows NT 4.0 that causes the information in
the Contents tab to look garbled when you view a MAX file in Windows Explorer.
The problem has been corrected in Windows 98. Although the information looks
garbled, it is internally correct and the File Finder utility can still read it.
Custom panel
The Custom panel lets you create custom fields. Custom is useful when there
is more information that needs to be entered into the properties of a scene
but there is no field or no room in the Summary panel.
Name Enter the name of a custom field. You can manually enter anything
you want into the Name field. A drop-down list provides commonly used field
types.
Type Specifies the type of information to be entered into the Value field:
choose from Text, Date, Number, and Yes or No. This dictates the type of
information to be entered into the Value field.
Value Enter the data here.
Add Adds the Custom properties entered into the Name, Type, and Value
fields to the Properties list.
Delete Removes a selected Custom property from the Properties list.
Properties Displays all Custom properties entered into the scene.
