3ds Max freeform tool often get crashed

vempdance

Hi there,I'm new in 3ds Max and I am tring to use freeform tool to retopoloy a High res mesh.It is a great tool but the crash makes me crazy. It crashed for 5 times during the last hour and I don't know why.The high res mesh is just 200 thousand poly count, and I believe it is not because of My hardware.
So I'd like to ask you if anyone have the same problem and Could anyone gives me some advices to avoid that. Sorry for my poor English and thank you all~:)

Freeform tool? Are you talking about the freeform TAB of the Graphite modeling tools? It contains quite a few separate tools that you can use to retopologize a model. Which one specifically are you using?

Conform, Step Build, Topology Drawing, Strip painting, Spline Painting, Branches, Surface painting, Shape Painting, Shift, Rotate, Relax, Noise, Exaggerate?

And what actions are you doing when it crashes? Is the easily reproduced on something else like a sphere, or does it seem specific to this model?
