The 3ds max User Reference gives you information about every aspect of the software. Each topic contains an overview discussion, typically preceded by a path annotation showing how to access the feature in the program, and followed by a "Procedures" section with steps for using a command or feature, and an “Interface” section detailing controls and parameters for the user interface.
Path Annotation: Gives one or more sequences of steps indicating how to access the feature in the user interface.
Topic Overview: Tells you the name of the feature, command, user-interface control, or concept, and gives you a description.
Procedures: Contains steps for tasks that illustrate the typical use of the feature.
Interface: Describes the controls for this feature as they appear in the user interface, with a description of their behaviors and settings.
Note: 
New features are indicated in this reference by the "New" icon shown at the beginning of this paragraph. This makes it easy to see what's new in the software as you use the reference. You can also identify topics containing information on new features in the program using the Index. Double-click the "new feature in v5" entry to display a list of topics describing new program features. Double-click the entry "new feature in v5" to see which existing features have changed.
Note: Also note that the screen shots in this reference show the default user interface colors. Other color sets for the user interface are available. You can choose them, or create your own, using the Colors tab in the Customize User Interface dialog.
