Cut is only available when objects are highlighted; if there are no objects highlighted or if a layer is part of a multiple selection, it is not available. NOTE Objects are not actually cut from their assigned layer until they are pasted to another one. TIP If you cut a layer, 3ds Max cuts all objects in the layer. Paste Moves cut objects into the highlighted layer. Paste is available only when a single layer is highlighted and one or more objects have been cut.

Likewise, this command is not available when your selection includes Layer0, any objects, or any layer containing objects.
