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?
