• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Create>Standard Primitives>Sphere suddenly stops working...

I was building a simple boat-hulled seaplane and, having the lower hull done, I wanted to add some superstructure. I tried to create a simple 12-segment sphere. I click and drag and nothing happens. None of the Shapes in the Create menu will work. I opened a new doc. and they work fine. I opened a plane model done a few days ago, and they work fine. The problem is in this model. What might account for this?

Create your sphere in one of the orthogonal views – Top. Left, Back etc – or use the Keyboard creation panel. Gmax is funny that way as soon as you've got some other geometry in your scene.
 
Looks as if you need to specify a radius in the RH column, you have the 12 faces selected. Make the radius large enough to see as it will self locates at the 0,0, point, you can then move using the mouse & change the radius in the RH column if you need to.
