Minor problem in 3ds Max 7

Spiffy935 · 5th Jan 2006, 09:19 PM

While working on a model in 3ds Max 7, I somehow managed to hide some polygons that will not unhide. As a matter of fact, they just don't appear at all, except when the model is rendered. Does anyone know why this is and what I can do to remove those polys?

Just press "unhide all" in the right-click context menu.
That should fix the problem

The Unhide All doesn't work for unhiding them since they don't exist, but they seemed to stop appearing in the render window, so I guess things just magically started working right

Are you sure the normals weren't just flipped? Perhaps you could do a "Select open edges" to see if the polies really are gone.
