3DS Max Issue (04/22) - Freeze/Unfreeze to get out

Experienced a bug issue with not being able to select individual polygons
Freezing/Unfreezing selection helped solve the issue

"Frozen objects are similar to hidden objects. Linked, instanced, and referenced objects behave when frozen just as they would if unfrozen. Frozen lights and cameras and any associated viewports continue to work as they normally do."

Display UI Icon

Under Display in Command panel, select the Freeze rollout and select either of the 4 options

Error Message: You Must Have Valid Objects Selected

When we get this error message, make sure "view" is selected in the render settings window. Also, make sure it is VRay and "Bucket" for type is selected. Forum Post: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/3ds-max-forum/you-must-have-a-valid-object-selected/td-p/6242993

3DS Max - Edit Borders > Cap

Select edges switch to border mode go to edit borders and select "cap" -edges selected -switched to border mode and the "cap" option under edit border fills the gap. Super important when edges are all layered differently, or, this is how the software is reading it. Cap basically fills holes and is the most reliable option when improving the topology of your object.

3DS Max Fundamentals - Open/Closing

We open objects when we want to make edits We close the group when we go back to staying in a group of objects
