When my friend right clicks an object to bring up the box where you can make the object an editable mesh, attach, detach ETC That box will not come up. Does anyone know what is wrong? Here is a screen shot of the box if you don't know what I was talking about.

Also it will not let him move the vertexes.

frozen? what does frozen mean? When you said can you select the box, do you mean the box that my friend is trying to make come up when you right click an object? Also beanyhead he already tried that I even asked him a couple times if he was sure he had the move thing selected when he tried to move the vertexes.

Are you sure you went to Convert To: then Editble mesh?

http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1090194079

This is off max 5 but the menu is nearly the same. Then you can select what type of selection mode (vert, face, poly, etc.) by right clicking again or from the modify menu on the right side tab panel.

Than why are you looking for an answer for your friend when all he has to do is get on here, register, and ask. Just a tad easier for everyone instead of you getting pissed at us because we can't provide an answer using the info you've given us.

It has to be an editable mesh (convert to editable mesh) before you can attach it to something else.

If you want to detach something in it, go to editable mesh, than vertices, or polygon or whatever, and select the vertices/polygons you want to detach and than detach them.

I hope that helps your "friend".

So hes trying to get the box to come up? Try re-installing renx and gmax after completly uninstalling it, deleting any folder left manually to get ride of anything that might make it not work right after you re-install it. Also if your freind has a differnt kind of mouse set up, that might change something.

Yes that is the box he is trying to get up. He already tried reinstalling, I will see if he did like you said and deleted the whole folder, if not I will tell him to do that.

the "deleteing the whole" folder thing probibly isent the case, it just might be his comp, the mouse he is useing or the set up for his mouse. He can do the stuff in the box (its called a quad menu) from the side bar and top menu bars so its not really a huge issu if he cant fix it.

Is that friend you?
lol jk

I think most of us are presuming that he of course already converted it to an editable mesh.

And presuming is a bad thing.

I agree with Falconxl. Check if it was converted to an editable mesh or not. Thats the first thing that came to my head. So check that.

There are 3 ways to do every basicaction for manipulating a mesh. Right click, tab panel, or pull down menu. If the object was frozen it would be unselectable.

Here's something to try:
