hi all,
i'm trying to model something in 3ds max, but for some reason when I clone an obejct, both reference and instance produce the same effect: modifications to the reference object translate onto the original! i've looked in books and online and this isn't meant to happen. can anyone tell me if i'm doing something wrong?

Are you using the Clone Tool or Click/Drag to Instance your object ?
