Don't enter anything to remove all paths from all bitmaps. MAX will look into its Map Paths and use the first copy of the file it encounters. If there is no file on the Map Paths - the Bitmap will be missing.

Layer Manager is a utility that creates layer controls for 3D-Studio MAX.
When Using Layer Manager - every object that is created within Max is placed on a Layer - each object defaults to the World Layer. Each layer has it's own properties - and each object assumes the properties of the layer it exists on. Layers can easily be hidden - frozen or given an alternate material.
