Dissappearing dummys in Max7?

Cthogua

Has anyone encountered the problem of dummy objects only being visible while moving the camera or where it's infront of some geometry? If so, is there a fix or is it just a display bug? In case it helps, for a display driver I'm currently using Direct3D 9.0 with a NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000 video card.

thanks

Dunno. Tried OpenGL or software to check?

Yep, it does the exact same thing in OpenGl and software. Although to revise what I said earlier...After looking at it further it seems to happen more often that the dummy is invisible when in front of some geometry, not the other way around.

Now I remember. If you can, use Point helpers instead... they have a flag to always draw on top.
