Had to hose my model, ignore backface not working 3dsmax

Man I'm so frustrated. I was working on a model for a couple  hourst  then wentto select some verts and no matter what I tried I kept on selecting verts on the other side of my model. I had i gnore backfacing checked so thats not it. I've been modeling for years, went to Gnomon so I'm pretty experienced with Maya and Max. I created a new object in the same scene and the problem doesn't exist. So it's obviously a corruption on the mesh. I .obj and .fbx exported and reimported...that didn't work. I changed display drivers..nope. Converted it to an editable mesh...back to poly...Nope. Exported to Zbrush and back...nope.Finally I just gave up. Any ideas!
Deleted preferences, reinstalled Max.....Argggg

Scene could be corrupted. Did you try merging the offending mesh to a fresh scene?

Might be worth a shot. Also, have you thoroughly checked the mesh for all the usual Geo errors?
