Messed up 3DS Max UI

Apheleion · Feb 2017

Hey all, for some reason when i went to 3DS Max to clean my model the UI was all messed up, button were missing and the icons for tools were missing. If anyone has any idea on how to fix this and could help me with the problem it would be greatly appreciated

looks like you swithced to a different workspace. Either change it in the workspace dropdown top left of UI. Or go to Customise>Load custom UI(or select revert to default)

First thing I do when I install Max is set up my custom UI/hotkeys/quad menus/etc and save it out to file.

[ figured it out bratha this is what i had to do

Go to C:/Users/USERNAME/AppData/Local/Autodesk/3dsMaxDesign/(version)/
find a folder called ENU. Rename it, like ENU-OLD. Then start Max and see if that fixes anything
also thanks for the rapid response.
