Hide By Category Rollout

 

Display panel > Hide By Category rollout

The Hide By Category rollout toggles the display of objects by category (objects, cameras, lights, and so on).

By default, 3ds Max displays all objects in the scene. Objects hidden by category aren’t evaluated in the scene, so hiding objects by category improves performance.

You can use any of the default display filters provided, or add new display filters for fast selection of objects to hide.

Interface

Turn on the check boxes to hide objects of that category. You can use the All, None, and Invert buttons to quickly change the settings of the check boxes.

The Display Filter box gives you finer control in creating categories to hide. Click the Add button to display a list of display filters. Hold down the Ctrl key and click the filter name to select whatever category you'd like to hide.
