Scene Gone Crazy

[glorybound]

Two weeks ago I had a scene go bad, and it was a disaster. Yesterday, I merged something from that scene, into a new scene, and now it's happening again. The image below; it's empty, but in shaded mode you see geometry.



What the heck! Any clues?

have you checked that you don't have any xref'd scene ?

[Morne]

maybe refresh the viewport?

[glorybound]

Nope, not xref's

have you checked that you don't have any xref'd scene ?

[glorybound]

what do you mean?

maybe refresh the viewport?

Also, the things you see in the viewport don't have anything to do with the scene I merged in. Also, I have several layers that won't delete and are empty, which are from the merged scene.

Have you tried any of these scripts:

http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/sc...r-max-and-vray

[glorybound]

yes. I tried both and I use the first one all the time.

I do get an error on a some Link Composite geometry while using the "Cleaner" script.

maybe the model is far away from 0,0,0

here's the scene, if anybody wants to see the craziness.

Have you checked in trackview?

[glorybound]

No, but I did delete some keys.

I've recently had a scene do the same thing. Is reproducible on multiple machines, but if I reverted to LegacyDirect3D the 'ghosted geometry' went away. Been under deadlines and haven't been able to dig further than that. Geometry stayed in the viewport even after a file reset (and no, it wasn't in my maxstart file). I think it somehow corrupts the Nitrous geometry cache and winds up permanently loaded into video card memory until you close and reopen Max.

I tried all the other graphic options, but non-worked. I removed my video drivers and reinstalled, but after days of troubleshooting, nothing worked. I'll follow your link to see if there is help there.
