very odd studiomax problem - mesh appearing where there is none..seemingly.
polycounter lvl 18
Hey guys.
Got a studiomax problem that is driving me up the wall because I have no idea where the problem is therefore can't find the solution.
I'm making an animations that teaches people how to make a T halving joint out of wood. in order to do that ive created several wood models which switch over a single frame for each stage (marking, sawing, finishing).
The mark lines are mesh lines which are animated by morphs. now here's my issue.
On 2 of the wood sections I have 'mark' lines appearing even when there is no 'mark' line meshes there. i'm wondering because I copied the wood meshes as I was doing the animation i've somehow inherited these lines, but nothing is showing in the view port, schematic view or object list, these lines are only appearing on the render. even when everything else is isolated.
I'm not good at describing stuff so hopefully the images below will help explain the problem a bit better
.
As always any advice would be much appreciated.

those lines are hidden freaking elements...not objects.
Ok next question just so this is not a totally pointless thread......when you hide elements within an object is there anyway of telling in studiomax that you do have hidden elements in a particular object....just so you don't do a me and totally forget to unhide them again.
Gah now I feel stupid.

I don't think there's any script out there that will tell you if you have hidden elements or not though.
