crashes :(

[notamondayfan]

hey all

 

i have a serious prob, my version of max (vis) keeps crashing on a certain file.

 

in my scene i have a building, and i think the problem lies on the external walls model. on this model i have a multi sub texture, and in the modifier stack i have 5 UVW map modifiers. when ever i work with this model, max crashes. it doesnt crash at the same time.

 

everytime it crashes vis creates these files -

 

acminidump.dmp

dmpuserinfo.xml

dumpdata.zip

 

i have sent the error report off to autodesk (several times, since yesterday), but as yet i have no reply.

 

i recently moved to a new PC, which is a beast, and shouldnt be any problems with hardware.

 

please help!!

 

thanks, dean

have you tried merging the objects into a new scene?

do u mean exporting the scene, then importing it back into a new file?

 

i dont wanna mess up the models, and ill lose my modifier stacks, which took me ages to set up.

try starting a new empty scene and then merge objects in for your scene as harry suggested (File-Merge). first you can try to merge everything, but sometimes you might have to merge objects in one at a time if one of the objects has become corrupted. then there are times when that won't even work, and you have to pray that you have an older version or one in your autobak.

 

hope that helps
