My bad. Xview doesn't have this.

Polygon Select menu under Graphite Modeling tools has it though!

Basically you might have hidden your ribbon.

I'm not a Max user anymore to be honest so I don't know how much I can help you, but that documentation is up to date with 2018.

It takes a while for the ribbon to load so they disabled it on start up.

It's called Ribbon now or something, there is a button in the upper menu next to the curve editor button. It's called "toggle Ribbon". It looks like 4 little boxes.

  I had a hunch that this might happen, the ribbon was always a bit of a content, icon size and performance bloat. To bad they moved so many tools into the ribbon interface instead of the tool panel. I still remember the poly boost days when a simple and snappy maxscript popup window was just very good.

Wouldn't be surprised if they reverse the ribbon interface eventually.

Yeah, even microsoft nerfed the ribbon into oblivion.
