Importing Issues

[Anonymous]

3Ds Max version 2015

I am trying to import a mesh with an existing mesh in the scene.  It imports kinda weird.

This is how it comes in - with the brackets around it (you cannot see what I imported at this point.  You only see the existing mesh) 

Now, when you select the brackets, you can see the imported mesh, and the brackets go away.  When you deselect, it looks like the picture above again.

What is happening here, and how can I fix it?

May be you are importing a very dense model and 3ds Max is hiding it until you need to edit it to maintain your system stable. It's like an automatic activation of Display > Display Properties > Display as Box.
