Create shapes problem

Anonymous — Fri, 10 Aug 2018 16:08:52 GMT

When I try and create a shape from these 9 edges, the object doesn't appear, I feel like it has something to do with Enable in viewport but I do not know how to fix it, thanks!

Hi,

Actually the shape is created and it has a light green color,

All you have to do is get out from the Sub-Object level, and pick the shape

I appreciate the reply but I'm not completely sure of what you meant I'm not that good with 3ds max, did you mean that it should be in my list of objects now? If so, I didn't manage to find it

I made a quick screenshot where i do exactly what you did,

But before watching the clip i need you to go to Display panel and make sure

The Shapes option is unchecked. Because if it's checked then you'll not be able to see 2D

Shapes in the viewport

Check the 2D shapes visibility in Viewports
