AEC wall keyboard entry not working.

[brand_maccus]

When I attempt to use Keyboard Entry to create an AEC Wall the Close, and Finish buttons just cause the program to beep at me. An Object is created and visible in Scene Explorer, but there isn't anything visible in the Viewport besides the Object's Gizmo. I'm using the steps described in the documentation as closely as possible. Any suggestions?

What version of Max are you using?

I'm using 2024 at the moment. I have built a rudimentary room in 2023 as well, but I don't believe that I had ever tried keyboard entry in that version. I still have both versions installed. I just want to create rooms with exact dimensions.

Thank you Brand for reporting this issue. I can still create a wall with the keyboard entry but only when adding a "Z" axis and multiple points. This doesn't look as the same workflow from 2021 where Z was greyed-out on 0.
Regardless of a potential bug, you need to enter at least two points to create one panel.

Thank you. I suppose that I can get exact dimensions for my layout using the Transform, but it's definitely a bit more complicated. I never thought to adjust the Z, as I wanted my walls to start at the floor line.
