Max2015: 'Zoom Extents' with light object

[Stefan_L]

If I draw a box and press 'z' for zoom extents, everything is fine.

If I draw a box and a light and press 'z' for zoom extents, I'm "far, far away".

The next 'z' zooms in again, then out again, then in again...

Holding the 'z'-key iterates to a pseudo-stable state still further out than it should be.

After deleting/hiding the light everything is fine again.

Can anyone confirm or is this my local/personal problem?

Same thing happens here too. Reset scene, grid off. Just a box and a photometric 'free light'.

It doesn't zoom 'far, far' out but it definitely zooms back and forward a large step.

Holding down [z] does indeed flash in and out between two states of zoom level.

Weird alright. Deleting the light resets [z] back to normal zoom extents.

You can see the two different levels of zoom by looking at the grid in the two screengrabs below.

it is a fact that a light is a point. How can you zoom extend a point ?

"How can you zoom extend a point?"
Best way atm is using Max 2014 🙂
