Can I get the explanation of the API's parameter?

[Anonymous]

I'm a software developer and now I'm studying the Autodesk 3ds Max 2017  Python API. I notice that the functions in it only have simple using formats,  I can't understand the meaning of every parameter of the function. Where can I get it, such as a file, or html?

The simple answer is -- you cannot.
Autodesk didn't put much effort into documenting and developing of Python API.

So in order to get started with Python API you'll need some knowledge of C++ API for MaxPlus module and MaxScript for pymxs module (and you'll be needing pymxs -- MaxPlus has very limited functionality).

And 3dsMax C++ API and MaxScript are rather well documented.
