In a huge scene after a certain point when you zoom in (in perspecive view.) you cant pan the camera or zoom more in it gets very slow unless you zoom out again. To work around this i have to select something small and close zoom into that object and then pan over to what i really want to edit.

The scale of the 2D representation of procedural maps can only be changed for the previews in the material editor, while the maps used in the viewport have a fixed scale, which is far off the actual size in the rendering most of the time. It would be nice to have a better viewport preview of the actual scale of the map on the model.

show frozen in gray option need to be off to default, or remove this option

Whilst looking through cameras, I often pan or rotate by accident. I'd like the ability to lock cameras and restrict all translations totally. As far as I'm aware, current methods of freezing or locking translations currently still allows the camera to be moved whilst looking through it.

Using helpers as markers and measurements is difficult when the helpers disappear while you're working on the object.

Some are and some aren't. The viewcube stays off when you turn it off, but viewport statistics always need to be reset after starting Max. I know I can save a "MaxStart" file, but I shouldn't need to. All the settings should consistently be either remembered or not.

The title its self explanatory. When you are viewing through a camera it should move as if you were in perspective, alt+middle mouse button=orbit around ,middle mouse button=pan...etc....

Nitrous viewport should display propper texture filtering (ie. pyramidal, none, etc). And as Open GL, it should have parameter for texture resolution. Possibly integrated with scene states.

The only way to remove a reference to a bitmap viewport background that we don't use anymore is to use maxscript. Could we just add a button to the viewport background dialog to do this?

Make the particle count and positioning same in render as in viewport.

Make Preview allows only grab viewport that fits current screen resolution. Via scripted screen grabber we can grab viewport larger then screen resolution. It must be allowed with Make Preview.

its tiring to keep pressing the z key and use the zoom tool, these should be automatic, i like modeling and keeping my eyes on my model not looking all over just to zoom or find a simple tool such as this, many other applications already do this and this should be basic!!! this should be FIRST on Autodesks list, i don't know why no one has requested this so far. all my other programs have this

Please add the option to customize major and minor grid lines color in "Customize User Interface" dialogue box
When you are using dark UI color scheme major grid lines are barely visible which makes it difficult to model a modular geometry
THIS IS A MUST HAVE OPTION

When selecting object, selected is always shown in white, and that is annoying and eye intense. Maybe it is not good idea to have option for changing color, but only opacity of white. I think Softimage is having that option.

Make the Edged wire bigger cuz it doesn't show all in Edged faces mode due to the pixel or wire is too small. but why directX works just fine?

There is no way to tell how many texels are displayed in the viewport. The only option beyond 1024 is 'Match Bitmap Size As Closely As Possible' in the driver preferences - but how much is that?? This information should at least be added to the Help > Diagnose Video Hardware information.

When you do a preview and turn on Frame Numbers, the actual numbers are located in the same place on the screen as the viewport menus. Should be easy enough to put them somewhere else.

I don't know why Max still doesn't have this feature whereas Maya had this feature by diffault for ages!

We need the abbility to view normal maps on low poly objects in the viewport without having to install additional shaders like Xoliul Shader or 3Point shader and having to switch from Nitrous to Direct3D

Must have feature for game artists.
