I swear to dog I always get the stupidest problems.

So I'm editing my model as usual. Suddenly, instead of being solid red, my polygon selection is an outline. 'Easy fix I say' press F2, nothing happens. Check the viewport config, shade selected it checked. Check some of the other objects in the scene...works fine. Go back to the 'broken' one, still broken, and F2 works just fine in wireframe, just not in smooth/highlights. Can anyone tell me what is going on here? What other stupid hotkey could I hit that would cause this???

Are you using the Xoliul Shader by any chance? It tends to do that.

Let me guess, max 2012? Happens all the time, I can't figure it out.

se7ered

nope, no xoliul shader on it and it's Max 2011.

Just tried to put a flat standard texture on it tho and it works just fine, so it is a texture issue it seems.

Try checking it again in the viewport settings and hitting apply feather than cancel or ok. Have had this issue on 2012 with the nitrous viewport.
