How to download and install offline help documents for 3DMAX?
The best tutorial for learning a software is its help document. After 3dMax is installed, the default is the online help document: run the 3dMax software, click the main menu->Help->3ds Max Help, open it in the browser Official help page.
There is a prerequisite here, that is, the computer must be connected to the Internet. If there is no network or the network signal is not very good, the online help document will open slowly or cannot be opened. Based on this situation, let me explain to you how to install the 3dMax offline help document. The specific method is as follows:
1. Download the offline help installation file. Click "Main Menu -> Customization -> Preferences", switch to the "Help" tab, click the "Download" button to open the help download page of the AUTODESK website.
2. Scroll down the page, find the corresponding language (such as Simplified Chinese), select the corresponding software version, and click to start downloading.
3. After the download is completed, you will get a 3dsMaxHelp2017_chs.exe installation file. Double-click to run the installation file, set the installation path (you can set it yourself), and then wait for the installation to complete.
4. After the installation is complete, restart the 3DMAX software, go to the Help tab of the preference settings again, switch the radio button to "Local Computer/Network", then click the "Browse..." button to browse to the help file just now The installation path (...\Programs Files(x86)\Autodesk\Help\3dsmax2017\zh_cn), click "OK".
5. After the settings are completed, click "Main Menu -> Help -> Autodesk 3ds Max Help" to open the local help page.
