3ds Max 9 Crashes when I hit "unhide all"

[Shakahassan]

Hi guys, first time posting so I´ll try to keep it short...

 

I've already searched the forums and didn't find a similar problem (forgive me if I didn't see it and am posting again)

 

Here´s de deal, in my assignement, I have to simply move the camera through the production line of a factory. So I selected the walls and everything I didn't need in the scene beside the machinery, to better animate the camera... But now that I'm done, when i try to unhide the hidden stuff through the "UNHIDE ALL" command, Max crashes!!! And I can't find a reason why.

Any ideas?

 

I'm using 3ds Max 9, by the way.

 

Thanks in advance!!

Maybe some issue with a 'heavy' hidden object? Try unhiding the hidden objects one by one, or group by group, to isolate a possible problem object...

Thanks for the tip, Mazinger! Will do!

Are you in wireframe or shaded mode when you unhide? That could make a difference. Try turning off transparency in viewport. If it's a heavy scene there could be any number of things that could overload or bug out your graphics card. Definitely try Mazinger's suggestion.

Yes, indeed I have a big scene. And I was working on wireframe when unhiding...

Mazinger´s sugestion worked out great!

Working with isolated selections proved to be very eficient!

Thanks a lot guys!
