Ribbons

[Jim_Earle]

I was recently looking in the help files for 3DS and noticed that my Graphite Ribbon Modeling Tools Ribbon is different than what they showed in the illustration. I've added a screen shot of what mine looks like. I have tried everything I can think of to try to get this to load correctly. I have even uninstalled and re installed the program. It appears that there should be many more panels on this ribbon tab (Modify Selection, Edit, Polygons, Etc.) I only have the polygon modeling panel. Any suggestions on how I can get this set up correctly with all the tolls in the correct locations?

I think the Ribbon is context sensitive, so it will only show functions available to the current object.

Try making a box and converting it to an Editable Poly. This should enable the polygon edit tools.
