We lost our Main Toolbar
 

After about 1 week of using 3dMax, we have somehow lost our Main Toolbar. I remember having this problem last year, and I can't remember how we ever got it back. Short of reinstalling the software, does anyone remember how to recover the main toolbar? TIA.

try hitting all the function keys

Goto Customize --> Show UI --> and from there you can add and remove toolbars.

You can disable toolbars with key commands, actually. While quite handy at times it can be exceedingly annoying, so I recommend printing a copy of the default keyboard shortcuts so you can get them back when this happens.

All you need to do is: go to Customize-->Revert to Startup UI Layout.

The Layout should return to the normal state. If that does not work then...

Look in the Max folder for MAXScript.cui file because it is probably corrupted or messed up. All you have to do is delete that file, start 3dsmax, and the layout should return to the default.
