Missing tabs on the left corner (Viewport, [+], ...)

[margea370]

I have Student Version of 3DS Max 2014 and cannot find anywhere (in program, forums..) link how to display tabs on the left corners of Viewports (they suppose to indicate viewport, [+] and one more option). Any suggestions where could I find it?

I also have the 2014 student version and my viewport labels are working. Have you tried the following from the Help files?

Tip: If the viewport menu label bar becomes disabled, you can restore it by refreshing the UI scheme. Use Customize menu Load Custom UI Scheme to load a different CUI file, then reload the original CUI file again. The label bar will become available after either the new or original UI scheme is loaded.

I tried to go through everywhere. I reset it and have Viewport tabs now, but something is wrong.. they became very blury and also all other options (such as rotate and axis is bured, pixeled..) I attached image. Is there any way to resolve it?

That's an interesting twist on things. I'm sorry, margea370, but I don't have a clue how to resolve that one. Graphics card issue, perhaps?

Maybe Mr. Curley will chime in on this thread.

For the original problem, open the Maxscript Listener and enter

viewportButtonMgr.enableButtons=on

Never seen the viewport labels display like that before - I would be tempted to rename your (user) ...ENU\en-us\UI folder. Max should create a new clean one.
Failing that, rename the ENU folder - that should efffectively reset Max completely.

i have the same problem.. than i went to change the display driver from "Nitrous Direct 3D" to "Lagacy Direct 3D" the General viewport label appear..

That suggests your graphics card isn't good enough - what is it? If it's an onboard HD4000 or similar then it is definitely not sufficient for Max.
