Hello! I need your help to solve a problem with the size of the Import File floating window in my 3D Max 2013. The aspect ratio of my screen is 16:9 (1366-768).
The problem appeared after I created another user account on my PC and now I log in and work under this username. When I worked in 3D Max under my old account, the Import OBJ window was compact and smaller and I can import any files without problems, but I had to delete my old user account because of problems with other software. This account was pre-installed when I bought this PC many years ago and I don't remember if it had some specific settings for the screen or not. Maybe those guys in the shop configured it somehow for better viewing and usability, I don't know. After this when I try to import files in 3D Max, like OBJ, the import window extents lower than the Windows taskbar and even lower than the border of my screen -
That means main buttons (Import and Cancel) are hidden now under the lower edge of my screen.
I tried to solve this problem by hiding and relocating the task panel but it doesn't help, the buttons remain lost all the same. Attempts to move the window up by pressing Up Arrow button had no success too, it doesn't move higher than the upper border of the screen.
Several times I managed to import OBJ files, pressing Enter, sometimes I have to press it twice and very fast, but it worked not always and now this trick seems to stop working. Now this window doesn't response to Enter.
How to configure 3D Max or change the size of this window to make it smaller and compact? Is there some option in preferences or any script for importing which may help me? I found a page in the Troubleshhoting chapter of the 3D Max Help which tells how to enter dimensions for floating windows if they hide from eyes somewhere out of the screen resolution. I tried to enter such dimensions for this window in 3D Max .ini file, but it seems I do it wrong and the size of the window doesn't change, and the problem remains. Maybe anyone here knows what to write in 3dsmax.ini exactly, if it can help me to make this window to fit my screen?
Thanks for help in advance.
