Hi, I'm running into some trouble modelling a jet. I'm trying to extract part of the wing, because it should be a different object, but after it's extracted if I try to smooth it or the body of the jet, they disappear. Can anyone help me fix this?
Thanks.
It's the only angle where I could fit all 3 in, but the highlighted parts are the ones I'm trying to extract.
My issue isn't that extract isn't working, because I can extract the pieces that I want. The issue I'm having is that after they have been extracted, when I try to smooth them (with the 3 key) they disappear. If I unsmooth (with the 1 key) they come back, but they go invisible when I smooth them.
I couldn't attach it through this post, but here's the link via dropbox:

That should be the one I was working with.
I just opened up your file in 2015 SP4 without a glitch, key 3 is working fine and object does not disappear.
Rename your preference folder and restart Maya and test it again.
It worked on mine after extraction....preferences are stored here C:\Users\you\Documents\maya\2015-x64\prefs
Even after changing that folder it still makes them invisible for me when I smooth after the extraction. I guess I'll have to try it tomorrow from school on a different computer 😕
Hi
this maybe a little late, but
I was having the exact same problem , I found you have to change the viewport renderer to " legacy high quality viewport ".
Staying on the default setting means that "preview smoothed" mesh will only be represented by a wireframe.
Hi!
Please provide more information:
1. Your Maya Version?
2. A Screenshot of your problem
3. An uploaded scene-file
Had the same issue; it's an easy fix, fortunately. You just need to assign a different material to the object, then you can revert to the previous one and voila, the object appears properly after smoothing.
