3ds max surface dissapears when selected vertex not in view

You may need to check Flip Normalsĭon't be sorry - it only matters when the finer details are important - they aren't always. Exit sub-object mode if not already done. Toggle off the Cross Section function.ġ0. In any viewport, click on the largest circle, the next smaller then the smallest. In the Geometry rollout, click the Cross Section button. In the Front viewport select the innermost spline and in the Top viewport move it. Click the Attach button to turn off the function.Ĩ. When attached, all the shapes will be the same color.ħ. As you move your cursor over a valid shape, it will change into one with 4 small circles (sorry I cannot screen grab the cursor). In any viewport, click on the other two Circles. In the Modifier panel, for the now Editable Spline object, click on the Attach button.Ħ. Right-click in the viewport and choose Convert To > Convert to Editable Splineĥ. In the Front viewport, create 3 concentric circles.Ĥ. I did search through the help files for the Attach feature of the geometry rollout, but that didn't help much.Įdit: Can someone please walk me through the steps involved in attaching more than one spline?ģ. Sorry if i'm asking a question that might be obvious to you, but i'm still learning 3ds max. I don't know how to use this Attach feature. It works.I tried the spline Geometry Attach feature, but when I selected one spline, then another, with Attach on, the other splines I click on won't change color or anything. I've been resetting normals with TurnToPoly for years. Try using Xview to identify problems with your mesh. If you had mismatched normals you probably had the double faces as well. It just resets the normals while respecting smoothing groups, and whatever other options you pick. TurnToPoly won't unify normals or duplicate geometry. In another part of the 3ds help doc, it says this function doesn't work on Editable Polys, and that you should add a Turn to Mesh modifier on top of the ePoly object, and then on top of that add a Normal modifier, check on 'Unify Normals,' and then check on 'Flip Normals' if you need it. I'm assuming what you want is the Normal modifier's 'Unify Normals' function, which makes all faces point the same way (inward or outward). I tried the above Turn to Poly on top of an Editable Poly w/ mismatched face normals, but it didn't unify them, and actually made a mess when collapsing (duplicated the mesh on top of itself?).
