Bug Report: Max 2017 and changing 'Segments' on Sphere

[RobH22]

A user at AREA Max just reported this:

---------------BEGIN QUOTE-----------------------------------------
I'm just trying out 3ds max 2017 with sp1 installed.

I'm using vray 3.40.02

I've created a simple scene with some spheres and a box and camera and light. Everything is fine at this point.
I then render the scene and everything is still fine and the render comes out as expected.

I then decide to up the segments on my sphere and box and the normal's on those objects go weird, in both the view port and and any subsequent renders.

however if I save the scene (with the problem normals) and then reload it then the normal are fixed again.

Is this a bug and is there a work around?

I can confirm the behavior and am just forwarding the info.

Isn't this the same bug as the one reported here :

Yes, it's the same and my recommendation is the same: file a bug report with Autodesk and pray for a fix.

Yes, it's the same one. I searched for it prior to posting but due to the vague title of that post I never found it. Thanks.

Hi!

Also if you are using Windows 10 you have a Bugmultiplier.
I found that a lot of very strange bugs are related to windows 10 readonly/unrightmanagment of doom.

I gave up and i am now back to max2016.

It was very weird to hear that the german customer support team had no windows10 test system )

best regards, daniel!
