Hello everyone. I have a quick question regarding image planes and objects disappearing in my viewport when i pan around in it, or grab vertices, polygons, etc. Is there hotkey to disable/enable the bitmap and objects at all times? Thanks for the help, im looking forward to getting back to work on my model.

You can switch bitmaps off in the material editor (not visible in viewport). Also check your clipping planes. I found sometimes in Max6 that wierd stuff would happen in the viewports when I had too many polygons. A work around was to create a new project with a piece of the former model as referance and merge everything when I was done modelling.

thanks for the suggestion kanga. After a lot of reading I found that by simply pressing the letter " O " on the keyboard did the trick. I suppose that this toggles any image or object from being viewed real time to save the computer from working too hard. Thanks again for the help
