Possible display or view port display issues

Anonymous
Not applicable

I’m having some trouble with my 3Ds max. I’m not sure if it is a display issue or what but I have updated my grafics card and restared max and my pc twice now and it shows me the same thing.

So I’m busy working modeling and stuff (and this is a new error)
Then it suddenly jumps and nothing is displayed, It just shows a little grey circle and nothing else can be done except to go into camera but then it does it again in a matter of seconds 
(SEE LITTLE GREY CIRCLE)
Then I try to move the second window around and then it jumps to the same error
(SEE SECOND ERROR)
Then When I go into perspective view it displays my stuff but all weird and missing like this…
(SEE MISSING STUFF) – I know my walls and ceilings are there, just nothing is displaying.

Can anyone please advise me on what to do AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

 

It's not easy to know exactly what's going on here, but few general tips might help,

First try to select all by pressing CTRL+A and check to see if you don't have objects

Far away from your main scene. Some leftovers. 

Second, Since Max hates objects that are too far from the origin, make sure your scene

Is around 0,0,0 as much as possible

 

Did you import the 2D from autocad?

And if so, did you check the Rescale option in the import dialog to make the

System unit scale in Max matches the imported unit scale?. What i mean is if in Autocad 1 unit = 1mm

Then you need to check Rescale and choose millimeters. Also, for future imports, try moving all

Your Autocad objects somewhere near the origin before importing.
