23. Orthographic Views: Two dimensional view of an object , as seen from the Top, Bottom, Front, Back, Left,
or Right.
24. Isometric View: the sides of an object are equally inclined to the screen.
25. Perspective View: objects are viewed with the rules of perspective applied to them. They have a vanishing
point.
26. Bounding Box: A wireframe box that encloses the extents of an object.
27. Command Panel: Most used part of the interface. The command panel comprises six user-interface panels
that give you access to most of the modeling features of 3ds Max, as well as some animation features, display choices,
and miscellaneous utilities.
28. Edge: is a straight or curved line that connects two vertices in a mesh object or spline.
29. Editable Mesh: a type of deformable object. It provides controls for manipulating a mesh object made up
of triangular faces as an object and at three sub-object levels: vertex, edge and face.
30. Editable Poly: An editable poly is a polygonal mesh; that is, unlike an editable mesh, it uses more than
three-sided polygons.
31. Element: one of two or more individual mesh objects grouped together into one larger object.
32. Extents: an objects maximum dimensions in X, Y, and Z.
33. Faces: planar objects that fill in the gaps between edges in the object structure. A face typically has three sides;
34. Polygons: planar objects that fill in the gaps between edges in the object structure. A Polygon has three or
more sides;
35. Flyout: an icon-based menu available from any button that has a small black triangle
36. Frame Rate: This is the number of frames displayed for every second of real time.
37. Gizmo: geometry that appears in viewports, but not in the scene. You manipulate a gizmo to modify the scene
geometry or other effects. Provides a visual aid when you transform objects.
38. Grids: two-dimensional arrays of lines similar to graph paper
39. Keyframes: record the beginning and end of each transformation of an object or element in the scene.
40. Main Toolbar: - provides quick access to tools and dialog boxes for many of the most common tasks in 3DS
Max.
41. Material Editor: is used to design materials and maps.
42. Material: data that you assign to the surface or faces of an object so that it appears a certain way when

or vertices, connected by edges

on an object.
46. Modifiers: change an object's geometrical structure, deforming it in some way.
47. Navigation Controls: the buttons that control the display and navigation of the viewports.
48. Object: means an object in the scene, such as primitive geometry like boxes and spheres, more complex
geometry such as Booleans, and so on.
49. Parameter: a setting or value that you can change.
50. Pixel: (short for Picture Element) is a single point in a graphic image.
51. Render: To output the image or scene with camera, lights, shadows, modifiers, and materials applied to it.
52. Segment: portion of a spline between two vertices
53. Spline: a collection of vertices and connecting segments that form a line or curve.
54. Status Bar: contains information about the scene and the active command.
55. Sub-object: a subset of an object's geometry.an editable mesh object's sub-objects are vertices, edges, faces,
polygons, and elements.
56. Transform: change an object or the objects location. Usually done with Move, Rotate or Scale.
57. Vertex: a single point whose sole property is its position in 3D space, which is typically defined by values for the
X axis, Y axis, and Y axis.
