Hi All
Some of you have recently enquired about changing the “Project Folder” path without starting 3ds Max/Design.
You can do this by navigating to the below file location in windows explorer:
C:\Users\ {your user name here}
\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2011 - 64bit\enu\3dsmax.ini
And change the below path to suit the new project folder setting:
[Directories]
ProjectFolder=C:\ {add location here}
It is also worth knowing about the below macroscript.
This powerful script allows you to store folder locations and easily switch. I would always recommend performing a quick file reset whenever you change paths, to ensure all previously used paths and settings are flushed.This is great for when you need to quickly change between projects to complete those unexpected rush tweaks to “completed” projects.
Download script here.
Happy Max’ing
