Reorgnize hidden features!

Reorgnize hidden features!

Why like computer games we have some secret tools in Max?! if they are useful why not readily available or visible in root menus for users and if they are inefficient why don't remove them?


Some Samples:


1. Character Assembly:

For Exam if this tool is useful why we have not this feature in somewhere like Group menu? and for using this must go to "Customize User Interface", create a toolbar and drag related icons to toolbar?!

 

2. Polar and Ortho snapping mode:

Useful tools for drawing 2D lines but I don't know why they are secret tool in "Customize User Interface"! maybe useful if add them to snap toolbar ... .

 

3. Numerical Expression Evaluator:

If press CTRL+N on Spinner in Max you can see this useful features but How many users know about this shortcut? I think will be useful if add this feature to right click on Spinner too.

Also maybe many other useful features be in Max and many user like me don't know about these only for bad UI orginize ...

While the Idea behind this is interesting, users are already asking us to make the UI not look so much like a 'jet cockpit'. Unfortunately, what's useful to some isn't to others, so trying to promote certain areas may mean removing others. I can tell you from experience that when we do that, someone would bring up an Idea to put it back the way it was. The best we can do is help promote things like that organically within the user base.

Thanks for your attention to this suggestion but my idea was about some tools which user (specific new user) never them-self find in any menus or accessible icons in Max and I think must finding a solution for them. My image sample and some suggestion in text was only some exam not base of my idea.

and for Number 4 a vary useful tool is "space Loops", for equally spacing length of edges on a loop selection. wonderful tool. but you have to select your loop then press "X" button and write "space Loops" and click it to run the function...
