View Full Version : Newbie Alert! ...sorta...

Hiya.

I'm not quite a "newbie"...Learning MAX for about a year. However, I've never had this happen...

It's a "setting" thing: I have inadvertantly made it so that when I go to rotate/zoom/pan the scene (during modeling; no animation here, straight GUI manipulation), my object suddenly revert to simple wireframe boxes. Ive checked my viewport settings and all is fine (either wireframe or smooth+highlights). So...what did I do? More importantly, how do I switch it back so that rotate/zoom/pan let me see my objects as is, and not big-ass boxes?

Thanks!

There is a little button with a cube icon at the bottom of the UI, next to the snap options, called "degredation override".

Press it :)

Hiya.

Thanks alot Iain! I knew it was something simple. As soon as you said "next to the snap options..." I caught on. :) I remember accedentally hitting my hotkey for "snap", then glancing down to click it off when I was done....I thought I just missed it when it didn't turn off the first time..... ;) Guess I hit the Deg. Override by mistake.

Thanks again! It's been driving me nuts for an hour or so!

Also the shortcut key for that is "O" by default, ..er..at least it is here, I don't I've changed it:shrug: Every so often I accidently hit it on my way to hit P, to jump to the perspective viewport, and I don't notice until the whole wireframe thing kicks in. Anyways, to shorten what is fast becoming a long lame rant, you can hit O instead of clicking on the little icon when you notice the wireframe thing.
