Hey everyone,

 

So I've looked for solutions on this by simply googling but haven't found a solid fix yet.  But basically after switching from direct x 9 (default) to 10 just to try it out, I lost my vertices!  Under prefs > viewport etc I have show verts as dots and size is 3, so I know there's not a problem there.  In fact what happens when I open max, they're there to start, but as soon as I select in vert mode, they vanish.  It's a big problem to try and get work done when I can't see my vertices, anyone run into this, or have ideas to fix it?

 

I updated my Nvidia card driver to the latest, which is basically what I found in random threads of people having this same problem.  This issue according to my search dates back several years and versions of max.  Pretty frustrating to not be able to see my selected vertices! I will keep experimenting...

So I have not found an actual fix for the missing vertices problem, but atleast an alternative of sorts.  

 

Customize > prefs > viewport tab > uncheck show vertices as dots

 

This changes them to target crosshair type, but they can now be seen so it's better than nothing.  If anyone encounters this problem and finds a fix I'd love to hear about it, I want my dots back lol

 

I should have noted this in the orig post...
