sounds like you constrained your axis to xy. so you can only move it at xy.

dark heart,
Do you mean that you are unable to use the Arc Rotate or the Pan view functions?

here is an australian sample price for version 8 not 7

3d studio max 8
Price Inc. GST: $5,492.30
http://www.videobytes.com.au/discreet/animation.asp

how much did you pay for this package?
I doubt you have a real version, sorry but I doubt it.
perhaps you have a students version?
or your just lying hard about warez.
'you tell me

Usually the manuals that come with your software will solve this issue.

sorry man, can't help ya I use standard default layout in Max 8 so I don't know what keys your talking about for strafing?!?!

I use pan view for movement and center mouse wheel for zoom....

edit: try "Customize" menu and revert to initial layout, maybe you changed one of the settings for the arrows???

I don't use max but is there some kind of preferences menu? Cuz maybe you can set all your prefs to default and perhaps it'll get fixed. That's my two cents. Hope it helps

it comes with printed manuals, so you just put your foot right in it.
there were 3 books with version 6.

Ha, you dropped your self into the sh!t there did'nt you.

OK sorry, but obviously your rather noobish, and you most likely (like 90%) dont have a legit copy.
But if you mean how to pan the camera up or down when using walkthrough, you need to click the viewport, yep its as simple as that.
And if you did read (or have) the manual you would know.
