Crashes 3ds max when trying to do a object slice

[narsov]

Hi @Eduard,

I'm trying to make a shape of the branches with object slice (see image) and when I adjust the value for distance it crashes immediately.
Is there a new way to do it or this is a bug?

Hi narsov,

 

Please send me this scene file.

Thanks!

Hi narsov,

 

I never found the problem. But maybe it's due to Editable Poly, I don't know for sure, but sometimes it crashes and it's better to use Editable mesh. We'll try to find out from Autodesk support.

 

I've completed your model and you can see:

hedge spiral shape_1.max

 

You can also avoid using the slice object, and use only the spiral GrowFX modifier.

 

Thanks!

Thanks @Eduard,

but, I can't open it. When GFX is starting to load it crashes 3ds max.
What can I do to open the file?

Can you please tell me your 3dsmax version? 
I’m using 2021.3

[Eduard]

I saved in a newer version of GrowFX, just forgot to install the current version.
Perhaps there is a bug in GrowFX for max 2021, since I tried to open it in the current version in debug mode, and everything was fine there. But in GrowFX for max 2021 there is some kind of glitch.

I'll check everything now and send you an update.

 

Thanks!

[Eduard]

I sent you an update, and you can try.

I also updated this model a bit:

hedge spiral shape_2.max

 

Thanks!

Thanks Eduard.

It is working perfect now!
