IMPORTANT Once you save a DRF file in 3ds Max, it becomes a MAX file and
you can no longer open it in VIZ Render.
Defaults
3ds Max ships with several market-specific defaults sets. If you are working
on design visualization types of files, you should load the DesignVIZ default
settings. For more information on how to do this, see Market-Specific Defaults
on page 7486 .
Units
In VIZ Render, you can only use meters as your system unit. However, 3ds
Max lets you define your own system unit, and how units are displayed. For
more information on units, see
Using Units on page 2504 and Units Setup
Dialog
on page 7601 .
Missing Maps
Many times, when you open a DRF file, you will be presented with the
Missing
External Files dialog
on page 6926 . To locate the missing files, add the
appropriate VIZ Render directories to the Configure User Paths dialog >
External Files panel on page 7526 .
Handling Linked Geometry in 3ds Max
Linked objects show up as Linked Geometry objects on the Modify panel.
These objects don't allow access to sub-object levels where minor editing can
occur. If a linked geometry object is moved, rotated or scaled you do have the
option to Reset Position.
