I was working on something for school with 3dsmax 9, suddenly this happens..

3dmaxbugxo8.jpg

how can i fix that?
since i rly need to finish the school project in time :P

* edit: when i turn around the object with my screen it happends, also when i do other actions that has anything to do with movement. such as scaling, or placing the object somewere else, or rotate the object.

it is rly annoying because i can’t turn around the object to have a look at the results i’ve made so far.

:D help plz

have you tried to right click on the “Perspective” word on your viewport?
there’s an option to change into that view.. so you can change it back to normal smooth or wireframe view…

You already asked about this in your other thread.

Please explain what the problem is - I see nothing obviously wrong there.
What, exactly, “just happened”?

If you mean the Perspective viewport becoming Wireframe then it’s probably “Adaptive Degradation” - try pressing “O” (letter O not zero), also try F3 and F4 and right-clicking the Viewport Label as already suggested.

Just a warning: the next post I see without a descriptive topic line gets canned.

This is getting ridiculous.

Pfft, Just don’t read them! BTW, there’s nothing in the rules that states you need to add a descriptive title to a post.

You’re right. Just venting. There’s just been a rash of them lately.

What is missing is not a rule but simple common sense.

I’ll just start adding sub-topic lines if and when possible.

Better solution.
