NOTE There is no Undo for Delete Button, although Customize > Revert To Startup Layout will restore the toolbar to its original appearance. Edit Macro Script Opens a MAXScript Editor window, which lets you edit the button's script. Customize Opens the Toolbars panel on page 7700 of the Customize User Interface dialog, which lets you customize the contents of the current toolbar (or any other toolbar). Quad Menu When you click the right mouse button anywhere in an active viewport, except on the viewport label (see Viewport Right-Click Menu on page 7576), a quad menu is displayed at the location of the mouse cursor. The quad menu can display up to four quadrant areas with various commands. These commands can be customized on the Quads panel on page 7704 of the Customize User Interface dialog on page 7697. The quad menu allows you to find and activate most commands without having to travel back and forth between the viewport and rollouts on the command panel. The two right quadrants of the default quad menu display generic commands, which are shared between all objects. The two left quadrants contain context-specific commands, such as mesh tools and light commands. Each of these menus provides convenient access to functions found in the command panel. You can also repeat your last quad menu command by clicking the title of the quadrant. The quad menu contents depend on what is selected, as well as any customization options you may have selected in the Quads panel of the Customize UI dialog. The menus are set up to display only the commands that are available for the current selection; therefore, selecting different types of objects displays different commands in the quadrants. Consequently, if no object is selected, all of the object-specific commands will be hidden. If all of the commands for one quadrant are hidden, the quadrant will not be displayed. Cascading menus display submenus in the same manner as a right-click menu. The menu item that contains submenus is highlighted when expanded. The submenus are highlighted when you move the mouse cursor over them. 7516 | Chapter 25 User Interface
