Trying to create a simple cube by entering the measurements in the gmax Keyboard entry, press Create but nothing happens. I am using Gmax 1.2 version which i have for sometime and never had this problem before. Only recently have installed the gmax sdk pack not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Thanks Mantab

Problem Solved had to reistall Gmax and silly mistake by me did not
enter the Preferences Settings correctly, cant aderstand how I could do that its not the first time I had to reinstall Gmax over the years.

In Customize > Units Setup I had Metric = Meters which is what I prefer.

But In Preferences Settings > General Tab > 1Unit = Meters which is correct I had 1Unit = inches which was incorrect.

Thanks anyway guys.
Regards Mantab.

Whaaa?

Zoom Extents is something I use twenty or 150 times per session . . . what makes it a "Band-Aid" fix?

While that would have indeed allowed him to zoom in on the part(s), when exported the model would have been W A Y out of scale!

Best to fix the unit scale error before wasting any time on an out-of-scale project! Grin

Oh I KNOW that, but I just addressed the first problem of not being able to "see" the created cube!
