A first step in diagnosing the problem is to triangulate the geometry. If that clears up the problem, then the issue is likely the clusters. The only solution to that problem is to export to file (such as .obj or other non-native format. Don't use .emdl or .xsi) and start in a fresh new scene.

In other words I don't think its something that xsi understands or catagorises. I'll try to screencap next time it happens. The geometry is coming from zbrush so there may be something in the import which isn't as it should be, I'm guessing it is something like geo corruption as matt says, but hoping it doesn't come back!

Sometimes the root of the problem is clusters which are not properly synchronized with the topology (eg: contain indices which do not exist on the topology, or vice versa). Rebuilding the clusters can make the visual glitches go away, but the root of the problem will persist. In other words, expect it to come back at some point. Best bet is to rebuild the clusters, duplicate the object without history, then start a new scene as the gremlin is likely in the scene's internal data which you do not have access to as a user. This is assuming the problem is geometry corruption, of course. We've experienced other causes too such as bugs in our shaders.

They are totally unselectable and visible in any component selection mode. Quite often reloading the scene will make them disappear, and they're not showing up in render region. I'm guessing graphical glitch but using quadro k4000, which is normally pretty reliable. Anyone come across this? soft 2012 sp1 64, win 7, areo on, nvidia driver 320.00 Cheers, Matt -- www.matinai.com<http://www.matinai.com> -- www.matinai.com<http://www.matinai.com>
