Chad Warner Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 WIth Max 9, if an object was file linked and then merged into a new file, the object lost it’s linking ability and was able to be deleted. With Max 2008, the same object is not able to be deleted, and acts just like a regular linked object. Problem with this is, there is no way to get rid of the object once it’s merged into the scene. I can’t unlink anything and I can’t delete it. Is there something I’m missing, or is this a bug? Thanks, Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKitts Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I think I ran into this before.... my solution is to select whatever you want to delete (or modify) right click and convert it to an editable mesh..... and then it will let you delete it.

Chad Warner Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 That worked, Thanks. It's been killing me. I wonder why this feature was changed? Are you using 2008? I'm not terribly happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKitts Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 yup, haven't had any issues with 2008 that I can complain about.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Warner Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 That's not what I wanted to hear. I've been having issues with it freezing for any given period of time for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianKitts Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Actually I take that back.... 2008 does have one glitch that it gives me, but it's not hindering MAX.... If I'm in the middle of rendering (not sure if Vray compounds this or not) and I drag a file from an explorer window into photoshop to do work, it will freeze that explorer window. Even after the render finishes that window stays frozen, you can't close it and you can't use it. Only way to get it back is to end the explorer process, or save your work and close max. The second max closes that window pops back to life. this happen to anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first i thought it was because i was dragging multiple files but when i dragged one file into photoshop to edit, I got the same issue.
