This is pure wackiness. I have 3 polymeshes in my scene, all derived from Grid primitives. Transforms frozen, modeling frozen, UVs frozen. They are called: Shrubbery_Card_A Shrubbery_Card_B Shrubbery_Card_C Cards B and C are fine. For Shrubbery_Type_A, I am unable to edit the topology in any way (apart from moving points). I cannot duplicate, slice, knife, connect, or anything. I get an error every time I try. Here's the error if I try to duplicate some polygons: # ERROR : 2000 - Argument 0 (Target) is invalid # ERROR : 2001-EDIT-SetValue - Argument 0 is invalid - [line 4163 in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Softimage 2012.SAP\Application\DSScripts\operators.vbs] Application.DuplicateMeshComponent("", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "") Now here's the weird part. I can rename 'Shrubbery_Card_A' to ANYTHING ELSE and I can edit the mesh just fine. But if I name it specifically 'Shrubbery_Card_A' I lose all ability to edit the geometry (again, apart from moving things). So I can actually rename it to something else, delete and add points as usual, and then rename it back to 'Shrubbery_Card_A' to essentially lock the ability to edit it. I have tried Extract Delete: same thing. I have tried relaunching the scene: same thing. I tried restarting XSI: same thing. I can, however, duplicate cards B or C and rename those to 'Shrubbery_Card_A' and everything is fine. Any idea why the name of a polymesh would prohibit the editing of its topology, and throw this error? -- Tim Crowson Lead CG Artist Magnetic Dreams Animation Studio, Inc. 2525 Lebanon Pike, Building C.
