Cant scale object in 3ds max

Ervin

There is one object (and all of it's duplicates) that I can't scale for some reason. I can only scale it if I select and scale all the vertices. The scale gizmo looks like its working, and everything seems like it should be working fine, but the object itself doesn't budge. I can move and rotate it however. Other objects in the scene don't have this problem. Anybody know what might be causing this?

they are not, but it seems to behave as if they are

Old trick... Make a new primitive, collapse stack, attach problem mesh to it, delete primitive (element.).

Or export to fbx, re-import.

that worked, thanks
