3d max - I cannot see vertexes in object

Gerbeiter

Normally when I select choose selection -> vertex I see vertexes in blue, when I select some of them, they are red.
But sometimes I cannot see any vertexes (in blue and red). why?
How could I fix it?

Go into vertex sub object and look for unhide all in the commands below? Let us know if that did the trick.

That's a common graphic card rendering Max viewport problem. I assume you were in single viewport view, correct? Just turn to quad viewport view (alt+w) and back to single view again (alt+w), that's should fix the problem.

"Show End Result" will hide vertices if there are no other modifiers on the stack. A lot of the time I have Symmetry/Turbosmooth applied, so I toggle Show End Result with a hotkey I bound, often without realizing it. Sometimes I do this to a new Editable Poly without modifiers, and freak out when I can't unhide them.

I've also found (thanks to MoP!) that selecting all your verts, switching to the scale tool and then back to the move tool will correct this.

Like Revel said, it is a common viewport problem. Gets annoying for sure.

Another situation where this can happen is if you have a directx material applied, and a very high-poly object.

This is what I would have said ... Found this "bug" few months back.

This almost always fixes it for me.

That or tap X.

Also, the alt+w and alt+w again fixes it
