Lost Dialogs and Windows
3ds Max has many dialogs or windows that float when you open them. This
feature allows you to drag them anywhere on your desktop. You can greatly
improve your design efficiency by positioning dialogs out of the way of the
main 3ds Max interface, such as on a second monitor if you have dual-monitor
functionality.
However, there are times when a dialog gets lost. Either you drag it someplace
and inadvertently let go of it, or some data is written incorrectly to an
initialization file and you end up with a lost dialog.
There are a couple of ways to recover a lost dialog; both entail working with
the 3dsmax.ini file found in the location indicated by the MaxData setting on
the
Configure System Paths dialog on page 7523 .
Thorough Method
In this example, let's say you've got a single monitor that's configured for
1280x1024 resolution and you've lost your Rendering Progress dialog.
