NEW FEATURE 

Keyboard shortcuts have been expanded for the Edit Poly modifier to cover just about all features, and new shortcuts have been defined for the Hair Styling features. These features are new to 3ds Max 9.

Note 

The Virtual Viewport option is available only when the OpenGL display driver is used.

Note 

Don't confuse the keyboard shortcuts that work with the Edit Poly modifier with those for the Editable Poly object. Some of the same keyboard shortcuts work for both, but most don't work for the Editable Poly object.
