Objects won't delete

[TomA]

I have imported a dwg model into max from Microstation, and I can't delete objects in the scene.

 

None of the layers are frozen.

 

Any ideas how to solve this?

 

Thanks

You might have opened the Slate Material Editor. Make sure Keyboard Override toggle is off, then open the Slate Editor (if not open yet), make sure no materials / maps are selected then close it. Try deleting your objects again.

 

Hope it helps.

Make sure your original import doesn't have xrefs. Importing DWG's can bring Xrefs with them if you leave the option on and, from my foggy memory, they remain as xrefs so you cannot delete them as objects.

 

You can check in Max by File->References->Xref Objects/Xref Scenes and/or check in your original file.
