Can someone help me get it back please? Thanks for any help ....

This thing?


Have you tried pressing F12? That also brings it up.

NAIMA

yes but how to reenable?And no f12 don't work either...

low odor

you can get to it in the drop down here



you can also type it in here (the default is absolute)


you can also toggle the icon to offset by pressing it like so

NAIMA

Yes thanks I know this but I want it back to right click and pop up window mode like it was befoure ....

Mark Dygert

delete the 3dsmax.ini file (or move it) and start up max again?

low odor

if you right click on the move (transform tool) it will pop up as well



Also if you use right click or Ctrl+right click and click on the box next to the move tool it will pop up



and if all else fails..do as mark suggested and reset everything

edit...I was also thinking..you could also check you custom quad menu settings...if you type custom quad into the max help file it will have an overview on how to do that

Or, try this script:

Oh yea good point miauu, it might be off screen.
Did you recently switch from two monitors down to one?

You can also try right clicking your windows taskbar and choosing "cascade" which should reorder all of the windows onto the main screen, including the transform window... I just did it and now I have to put everything back... ha!
