Still vertices were appearing and disappearing, seemingly on a whim, then I discovered that pressing my Maximize Viewport toggle shortcut, all vertices reappeared. :) Since then I'm using this fix coupled with above config.
i had the same problem, and the only solution i found is this one http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3ds-max/autodesk-3ds-max--3ds-max-design-2010/quick-fix-found-for-dissapearing-vertices--vertices-not-showing/ cheers!!
I had a problem with vertices not showing up whenever I tried to go into vertex mode on an editable poly. It would show on other objects, but not on this one. So I exported the object as a .obj, imported it back into the project, and then vertices were showing up correctly.
I'm having a similar problem, but I can't even select the vertices by clicking and dragging where they should be. Oddly, I get one vertex that shows up and allows me to select it. I know the other vertices are there because I can select all the faces and then go to vertex mode, but that doesn't help when trying to modify…
there's definitely more than one issue being discussed in this thread. hidden vertices on a mesh are one thing and an unwanted side effect of features in max. but an entirely different problem and the one that started this thread is that vertices sometimes turn 1-pixel-small, making them hard to see and near impossible to…
I know this is an old discussion so you all probably know, they may be hiding because you all have "show end result on/off toggle" switched on, if you turn it off the vertices will show.
There is another thing that can make the vertices disappear or only display as one pixel--turning on hardware shading in the viewport (I'm using 3ds max 2010). The hotkey to toggle hardware shading on and off is shift+F3. Or right click on the viewport menu in the upper left of the viewport, go to lighting and shadows,…
my box at work does that as well. looks like geforce graphics driver problem tho since it works fine at home with a quadro... likewise can't recall having the vertices disappear on the home setup but have encountered it a few times at work.
