5 Choose any file with the appropriate extension. The software will search for (and load) any other type of UI scheme file with the same base file name. If you choose a UI scheme for which one of the six file types is not present, the part of the user interface for which there is no file will not be changed. To return to the default UI scheme: If you start 3ds Max and its user interface has an unfamiliar layout, you can always return to the default UI scheme. 1 Choose Customize > Load Custom UI Scheme. 2 From the Load UI File dialog that displays, choose defaultui.cui, and click Open. All the default UI files begin with the base file name defaultui. When you choose defaultui.cui, the software loads all default UI scheme files. To start the software with a custom user interface: 1 Arrange the user interface as you would like it to appear when you start 3ds Max. 2 Choose Customize menu > Save Custom UI Scheme, and save your custom UI scheme with the base file name maxstart. The next time you start 3ds Max, the software uses the current UI scheme. NOTE If the Save UI Configuration On Exit option on the Customize menu > Preferences > General tab on page 7744 is on (which it is by default), the state of the user interface when you close the program overwrites the maxstart UI scheme files. To start the software with a custom user interface from the command line: 1 Save your custom UI scheme with a descriptive base file name with the Save Custom UI Scheme dialog on page 7725. 2 Right-click the 3ds Max icon on the Windows desktop, and choose Properties. 3 In the Target field, change 3dsmax.exe to 3dsmax.exe -c, followed by the name of your .cui file.
