Ok, I have some questions/interface problems.

How do I reset my camera? Extreme angle movement and super low amounts of zoom.

WTF? The instant I try to move something (two vertices for example), it warps to some random postion, usually 10k+ world units away. I tried restarting program, opening an old one, etc.

I'm not a Max user, but

@ #2, do you have some sort of snap enabled?

I'll check for the snap, good thinking. Also, more bad news. I can't create any objects whatsoever now. I'm gonna check for any kinda locks. lol I wish I wasnt such a noob.

Nono, other people also have these problems. Well I never did, but it might come in handy in the future. :)

You must've hit the space bar in whatever viewport you're trying to create an object in.

Just highlight that viewport (so it's yellow) and hit space.

gah, I have a huge spacebar. That's probably what causes EVERY problem I ever had interface wise. Ty.

As for reseting your camera. Hit Z and it will focus in on your objects, if anything's selected, it will focus in on the selection.
