(Solved) [Maya] Subd display suddenly became transparent?

bitinn · Dec 2017

Hi,

I am running into a problem I cannot understand: there is one particular mesh in the scene, when I turn on subd display (aka high quality mode, aka the "3" key), the whole mesh became transparent, and I don't see any wireframe for subd mesh neither, only wireframe for the base mesh.

Note: only 1 mesh is affected and duplicating it didn't solve this issue. What problem could it be?

EDIT: also tried clearing history and resetting polygon display options for the whole scene, no luck.

Found the issue: somehow this mesh has Smooth Mesh options set to use "OpenSubdiv Catmull-Clark Adaptive" instead of the default "OpenSubdiv Catmull-Clark".

I am not sure this is by design or simply a bug with Maya 2018 on macOS platform (as the Adaptive algorithm is only recently enabled for macOS)

That sounds like a bug. You may also want to visit the Display section in the prefs and see if changing GL type helps any.
