Chamfering with 3dsmax9 PB3 (productivity booster rev3)

[Paul Oblomov]

OMG tired of deinstalling this shite! Every time I try to chamfer several simple edges - it just crash!

Over my simple debugger I caught this line just right before max crash

[1812] MNFace::VertIndex(127,-1): No match.

Any ideas what's that ?

happens to me as well with max 9, not only chamfer, but crossing 2sidedmaterial also crash. sometimes moving vertex also crash. i gave up and save alot..

I just tried chamfering a box (editable poly) and it worked fine for me.

Max9 PB Rev3

What sort of mesh were you trying it on?

[Paul Oblomov]

Just plain poly mesh. Several groups of edges give an error.
Try this

Select that edges and try to chamfer 'em....


P.S. I'm so damn maad. Coz of this shite I can't complete my Chevrolet Camaro concept model Love Transformers and wanna build this babe

Slightly off topic I know, but how do you make your 3ds max gui to be black?

[instinct]

In this case it looks like the default dark-scheme. Just goto the Theme Switcher via the customize menu and select the dark scheme

Ok, found a work around for you. Dont know WHY it work but it does.

Select the mesh, switch from single viewport to quad viewports (press the maximum viewport button... bottom right hand corner) then press it again to go back to a single viewport, then your chamfer will work

Btw i just downloaded ure scene and it crash when i try to chamfer any edge...but it crash when you work in poly mode...
I converted your poly in mesh and i can chamfer as i want your object
try it!!!!
after you can come back in a poly object

DaProblem is in fact that I hate mesh!

P.S. Any ideas ? Coz I'm goint to uninstall that shite. Never got this issue with plain max9

[DaForce]

weird works perfectly here.

Just got from the one maximised viewport back to 4 viewports then back to 1 again and I can chamfer without any problems!!

[teabag]

talking about power booleans or polyboost here? might be a dumb question, but i was considering buying the polyboost, but since i read this post i am not so sure....
