My tuppence worth to make Max life a bit sweeter:

-More tools for poly modelling please! Just having ‘loop’ and ‘ring’ available for polygon selection (rather than just edges) would be good.
-A spring clean and fresh layout of the poly tools in the Edit Geometry rollout
-Be able to move tabs to be floating tabs/boxes so we can move them onto a second screen (I know you can create your own from Customize, but to be able just to drag them away from the main interface would be nice)
-Be able to have a viewport on a seperate monitor (in another post I think)
-Redesign the Material Editor - I don’t displike the principles of the ME but think it needs cleaning up.

That’s all in my brain for now :) These are only minor points which is what I think all Max needs to make it *really* good. Its a damn good package but instead of having the next version with a few big song and dance additions, just have a refreshed and ergonomical interface with a good selection of subtle improvements. You never know this may improve the stability that has slightly dropped in the last few versions.

Cheers
