Stack Display The modifier stack is organized as follows: ■ At the bottom of the stack, the first entry always lists the object type. Click this entry to display the object's creation parameters so you can adjust them. When you click to choose an entry in the modifier stack, its background highlights to show that the entry is current, and that the object's or modifier's parameters are available for adjusting, in rollouts that appear beneath the stack display. ■ Above the object itself are entries for object modifiers. Click a modifier entry to display the modifier's parameters so you can adjust them. This section lets you go back to any modifier you've applied and rework its effect on the object. You can also delete the modifier from the stack, canceling its effect. Reminder:3ds Max applies transforms after it applies object modifiers but before it applies space warps or world-space modifiers. ■ The top of the stack shows which space warps and world-space modifiers the object uses. For example, if the object were bound to a Ripple space warp, an entry in the top section would read Ripple Binding. To the left of each modifier in the stack is a light-bulb icon. When the bulb appears white, the modifier is applied to the stack below it. When the bulb appears gray, the modifier is turned off. Click to toggle the on/off state of the modifier. NOTE You can also turn off the effect of modifiers in viewports but not in renderings, or vice versa. The light-bulb icon changes to show these states as well. See Modifier Stack Right-Click Menu on page 7648. If the modifier has sub-controls such as a center or a gizmo, the stack also shows a small plus/minus icon. Click this icon to open or close the hierarchy. Opening a modifier's hierarchy to access sub-controls Modify Panel | 7645
