This time its about a .max file using up all my memory when it shouldn’t. All was working perfectly until I merged objects and materials from another .max file. Suddenly the screen wasnt refreshing as quickly, materials were taking forever to load. Decided to check memory, and it was max’d out. Tried to fix it by saving selected items only into new .max file, didnt work.
This is the answer!
So if anyone else encounters this problem is to go to:
File>New>Keep Object
(note, DO NOT select “with hierarchy”).
So, Problem solved!!
