Could u try...
1) Apply TurboSmooth with Iteration 0. Then collapse it to Editable Poly?
2) Apply Mesh Select and Edit Poly then try it.

Thank you for your answer.

I did as you described, but it made no change. ó_ò
Either with the TS collapsed or Mesh select or/and Edit Poly modifier on it.
I'm really wondering why this happen.

Thank you for the try!

Graphics Card driver up to date ? Try update if not.

Try switching the viewport to perspective and back to orthographic.
EDIT: sorry, it seems you already tried.
Other standard procedures used in these cases:
1) "Edit normals" modifier/reset.
2) Reset xform.
3) Merge the model in another scene.

I tryed it... nothing changed... I'm so desperate... T_T

Maybe it's an setting option I've accidentally switched on? It's so weird, because I have the feeling that I can select the face only near the edges (last 5% from the middle to the edge) of the polygon.

I've exported the mesh and reimported to a complete new scene... the same is happening!

Install max 2016 or 2014...any reasons you are using 2017? I tried once and was full of bugs. I`m on 2016 at home and works perfect.

Sorry that is no solution for me.

@Aboulicious - can you upload your scene? I can take a look.

Aboulicious · Feb 2017

@coven- as soon as I'm at home!

This is a bug in 2017. I supplied the AD devs with my file and it's fixed in the beta builds so hopefully the fix ships soon.
