NOTE Many features depend on the scale of the scene, so choosing to rescale the file objects can have unpredictable results, particularly in scenes using radiosity. Reset and recalculate radiosity if you have rescaled the file objects. TIP Use the Zoom Extents All button if the geometry is no longer visible in the viewport after rescaling. Adopt the File's Unit Scale The system unit scale is changed to match that of the other file. This is the default option. Choosing Adopt The File's Unit Scale adds two settings to your 3dsmax.ini file: UnitType= and UnitScale=. For this reason, this change is persistent between sessions until you reset it manually. To get back the default System Unit Scale, you can edit your 3dsmax.ini file and remove those settings; or go to Customize > Units Setup > System Unit Setup and change the units back to the default scale, Inches. TIP Objects with a UVW Unwrap may lose their texture coordinate information when you choose this option. If this occurs, choose the Rescale option rather than the Adopt option. Viewport Configuration Views menu > Viewport Configuration Right-click any viewport label. > Configure The Viewport Configuration command displays the Viewport Configuration dialog. You use controls on this dialog to set options for viewport control. All the configuration options are saved with the MAX scene file. To configure startup settings for your file, you can save a maxstart.max file. If this file exists, 3ds Max uses it to determine the viewport configuration and settings when the software is loaded or reset. Interface Viewport configuration options are available in a series of tabbed panels on the Viewport Configuration dialog: Rendering Method on page 7818 Viewport Layout on page 7824 Safe Frames on page 7825 Viewport Configuration | 7817
