hi,
we often get bad meshes in new versions from older max versions if we rework old projects, seems to be a problem in edit poly modifier, iv attached screens + file, now we need to have max12 + 14 installed to get rid of such errors, would be great to know that this will be fixed and we can work only with new versions
Hi.
I've looked at your file by opening in 2014, and the problem is there as you describe. In 2012, your file looks fine.
Not sure of why, but when I used "Collapsed to" and collapsed everything below the Shell modifier and save in 2012, then open in 2014, the model looked fine. Also, I tried to create a similar file in 2012 with modifier stack with edits in various Edit Poly, I couldnt reproduce the problem. My file opened fine.
Edit: I agree with Steve. I think there's something corrupted in the file.
I think this is a known issue:
There where some bugfixes in the edit poly modifier required since Max 2012 which are data changing in specific cases
So i think your only chance is to collapse the model to bring the correct geometry over...
