Autodesk was waarschijnlijk ook niet overtuigd van zijn verbetering, er staat in de readme een uitleg hoe je de oude "Select by Name Dialog" terug kunt krijgen:
- All dialogs that involve selecting objects from the scene now use the Scene Explorer engine. You can, however, use the legacy Select by Name Dialog to select objects in the scene. To revert to this dialog, perform the following:
1. Make sure 3ds Max is not running.
2. Using Explorer, navigate to the following location:
- Windows XP - 32 bit build: C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\3dsmax\2008 - 32bit\enu\defaults\MAX\
- Windows XP - 64 bit build: C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\3dsmax\2008 - 64bit\enu\defaults\MAX\
- Windows Vista - 32 bit build: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsmax\2008 - 32bit\enu\defaults\MAX\
- Windows Vista - 64 bit build: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsmax\2008 - 64bit\enu\defaults\MAX\
3. Open the CurrentDefault.ini file using Notepad.
4. Scroll to the bottom of the file, and find the [Scene Explorer] section
5. Change the following line:
SelectByNameUsesSceneExplorer=1
To:
SelectByNameUsesSceneExplorer=0
6. Launch 3ds Max 2008.
