3ds max Viewport issue.

XIII · Feb 2013

I'm using 3ds max 2010 and I've recently installed Windows 8.

I've taken some screenshots:

Well, I'm not sure what's causing it, but it's getting very annoying! After a few minutes of messing around in Max a section of the view port freezes and there isn't anyway to unfreeze it, if I minimize Max the frozen parts of the view port still display on the screen.

I've tied different graphic settings, such as DirectX and OpenGL, but it still happens. The 64bit version is fine, however I can't use this as the plugs-ins I need to use for materials and exporting only work in 32Bit.

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas because I'm really stuck.

Thank you!

Cheers,
Mike

It looks to me like it's the quad menu freezing a section of your viewport. does this happen in JUST the viewport? does it also happen on your toolbars if you happen to right click near them when it freezes?

Have you updated your graphics card driver recently?

Also, try enabling Redraw Scene on Window Expose.

I also use Max 2010 and am having the exact same problem. I just recently updated to windows 8 and now am having viewport problems with the 32 bit version. 64 bit version works, but I can't export certain files for work, so I'm stuck using the 64 bit to model, then exporting from the 32 bit version.

This is a major problem if anyone has any ideas how to fix this.

Sorry, I don't mean to bump a thread that is almost a year old, but has anybody found a resolution to this problem? I use Max 7 and am also having the same problem. My temporary solution is minimizing Max, right click on the desktop, and click on display properties. The frozen parts disappear after that.

I have the same problem, when I try right clicking for the quad menu the part which is occupied by the the quad menu is frozen and the part is isolated on the screen
I tried , updating the graphics driver (GTX 210), D3d to nitirious everything that I got when I did some researching.

Are you on a laptop, or have a motherboard with an integrated graphics chip? I've seen this problem when the OS decides to use that instead of the dedicated graphics card.
