3ds Max: jump directly into perspective view when orbiting in side view?

pc-crash

So perhaps this is a strange question but i was wondering if this is possible: If i hold down alt and the middle mouse button in a side viewport i can orbit around the model but jump into orthographic view. Is there any way to jump directly into perspective instead?

I just hit P.

P and Z are your best friends in Max.

I made a little maxscript toggle that switches between ortho and perspective when hitting P. Just using the listener, basically.

I struggled with this for several years until I found the solution for this.

it's pretty easy: just ignore it

Protip: assign the 'd' key to 'Perspective User View' so you don't need to move your hand away from that awesome zone over there on the left side of the keyboard.

d FTW.. i did this too a few years back. i wanted to get faster so I started migrating all my shortcut keys to the left side of my keyboard and quads.
