Choosing a workspace

“

- [Instructor] The very first time you launch 3ds Max you'll see a window asking whether you want the Classic or the Design interface. Click on Classic because you can always switch to the Design Standard mode later. Once you get past that screen, you will see this screen, which is the so-called welcome screen. I'm not going to be using that, so I'm going to disable it so we won't see that again. So, turn of the switch, and then close the welcome screen window. We're now seeing the default 3ds Max interface. But we can swap that interface out for a different workspace. Up in the upper right corner we'll see workspace's default. Click on that pull down list and you can choose a different workspace. For example, design standard, and your icons may flicker, but once the interface is loaded you'll see the so-called design standard interface. And it exists in order to provide a familiar environment for users of other Autodesk applications such as Revit. There's some other workspaces here as well. You can experiment with those but I'm going to be using the default workspace throughout the course. I'll switch that back. Additionally, we have the ability to customize the interface, and save out our own workspaces, and that's done from this pull down list. Just choose Manage Workspaces, and in this window you have the ability to save and delete workspaces. I'm going to close that. And once again, we're going to be using the default workspace throughout the course.
