Polygon error

Hi!

I wanted to redo a model I made some time ago, but whenever I use undo the polygons changes colors and looks wierd. Is it flipped normals or something?

    I had this happen to me over 4 years ago:

    It was in 3ds max and I'm almost certain it was caused by me messing around with the "Edit Normals" modifier. That also turned out to be the solution too.

    @perna Ah yeah, I totally forgot to mention that. I'm useing 3ds max 2013.

    I tried doing what you suggested, in several different ways.(exporting, making a new scene and importing it, closing and opening max again, importing the obj and exporting it as obj again in a new scene.) It's still corrupt though. :/

    The mesh is fine up to the point where I use undo, so far that is the only thing that triggers it.

    @GeeDave I actually did mess around with the edit normal modifier, to try and flip them in the same direction. I will try and mess around with that and see what happens!

    When I threw on the "Normal" modifier it fixed itself. Thanks a lot for the help and suggestions to both of you! :)
