Bounding Box Displays objects as bounding boxes. Bounding boxes are approximations of
the amount of volume a shape occupies. No shading is applied.
Edged Faces Edged Faces draws the wireframe of an object back onto its shape when it is
displayed in one of the shaded modes (Smooth, Smooth+Highlights, Facets+Highlights,
or Facets). Edged Faces lets you see the wireframe lines and faces of an object for easier
editing, while still seeing it shaded.
Setting the viewport rendering levels will help you with larger scenes. More often than
not, viewing your scenes with the Smooth+Highlights mode will give you the best feedback.
3ds Max 2008 will automatically degrade the display of certain objects variably (such as using
bounding boxes) when the geometry in a complex scene is too much for the display to handle
when the viewport is being moved. You probably will not encounter this feature, called Adaptive
Degradation, until you begin dealing with very large scenes. You can disable Adaptive
Degradation by pressing the keyboard shortcut O.

With the new Adaptive Degradation features in 3ds Max 2008, you won??™t need to worry
about which rendering level you choose.
