I forgot how to fix the first one, but for the second problem look at the bottom right of 3ds Max. You should see a button that rotates your view port. Click and hold it until you see 3 of them, select the yellow one. Now it will rotate around your object, or if you have faces/vertices selected, it'll rotate around the middle of those.

Which version of 3ds max are you using?... 9 I'll assume...


To fix that backface error... you just have to right click your object go to properties and check the "backface cull" option in the "General" tab
