what is Shade Selected Faces Toggle

hi,

when i add edit poly modifier to a spline and select a polygon face, i always get these multi colored lines scattered around.

i could turn these off by pressing f2, which i found to be shade selected faces toggle.

however these thing won't appear if i add edit poly to a geometry or add edit mesh to spline.

why is this?

so is it better to use an extruded spline or create geometry?

Can you post a screenshot?

I don't understand what you mean by "multi colored lines scattered around".

hi

here is a screenshot

spline circle

add edit poly, select polygon

That's pretty crazy. I've never seen anything like that before.

I just tried it on my machine and I don't have any lines appearing.

I'm wondering if it's a graphics display problem?

What are your computer specs and what version of Max are you using?

but it doesnt happen when i use spline, edit mesh or create 3d object, edit poly

Well, since I can't duplicate the problem, and I've never seen that happen before, I don't have any advice to give. You will just have to do some investigation on your own and see if you can determine what's causing it.

I assume your computer specs are good?

Have you downloaded and installed the available hotfixes and service packs?
