Maya Crashes When Smoothing Meshes

[Anonymous]

I've come across an issue where Maya 2019 will become completely unresponsive when I try to preview smooth any mesh, no matter how basic. I am working with very simple scenes, and low-poly meshes. I'm using an NVIDIA GeForce 1060 6GB card, that is updated to the 436.48 version. I looked on the Maya driver requirements, and it seems like mine fits all the specifications. 

I'm wondering any possible solutions, because I'm stuck as it stands.

Thanks!

Thanks for posting!

Did you trying resetting the preferences folder?

Do you have a crash report number?

Yes I have completely reset the preferences folder, and that didn't fix anything. There is no crash report because Maya doesn't crash when I preview smooth, it just becomes completely unresponsive indefinitely. I eventually will have to restart my computer. I have left it for up to an hour to see if it will give me a crash report or some other type of error, but it just stays frozen.

I believe I figured it out! I changed the subdivision method from Opensubdiv Catmull-Clark to Maya Catmull-Clark. For anyone else experiencing the problem, go into the shape tab of your polygon, (for me pcubeshape1), then smooth mesh tab, then reset to Maya Catmull-Clark.

It seems to have fixed the issue for now, but I will continue to check with higher poly objects.
