Using 3ds Max 2017. My Xrefs load, then Max just hangs indefinitely.
If I uninstall 6.1.1 and and reinstall Forestpack 5.4.0 (the version of Forestpack I'd used in the scenes), they load fine.
Any ideas? Because right now I've bought a plugin that I can't use :(

Hi, unfortunately we will need the scene to identify the problem. There are not similar issues reported, what i remember.
Please, send us the files (https://forum.itoosoft.com/faq/how-to-send-a-file-to-itoo-software/) and we'll check it.
Thanks,

Hi, I eventually tracked down the source of the problem to a simple piece of geometry (literally a poly box serving as a garden bed, imported from Revit originally) that had a Forestpack object applied to it. Loading the scene with 5.4.0, deleting the object, saving, installing 6.1.1 and then recreating it and re-applying the Forestpack object in 6.1.1 works fine.
I'll send the 5.4.0 scene with the original offending object when I have a bit of time.
Cheers

I have the same problem, scenes with 5.4.1 open fine. (Max 2016)
With the latest version 6.1 I cant load old scenes.
Had to reinstall 5.4 for opening old scenes.
Cant really look into what the problem is.
Could be anything, other plug-ins,geometry etc.

Hi, if this issue is caused by a change in FP we could not indentify it, because we have not a scene to reproduce the problem.
Please send us (https://forum.itoosoft.com/faq/how-to-send-a-file-to-itoo-software/) one of the problematic files and we'll investigate it.
Thanks,

Hi,
Will send you a scene when i have time.
I've downgraded to 5.4, but now i get a popup window, when i right click, with a macroscript error:
macroScript FP_MS_SelectAll
ButtonText:"Select all Forest dependences"
category:"Forest Pack"
(
on IsVisible return (isForestPack $)
on Execute do
(
local list = #()
append list $
FP_AddSelectionItems list $.cobjlist
FP_AddSelectionItems list $.arnodelist
FP_AddSelectionItems list $.surflist
FP_AddSelectionItems list $.distpathnodes
FP_AddSelectionItems list $.distrefnodes
FP_AddSelectionItems list $.distpflownodes
FP_AddSelectionItems list $.efpainode
if $.camera != undefined then append list $.camera
if $.lookat != undefined then append list $.lookat
if $.light != undefined then append list $.light
try(select list) catch()
)
)
How can i disable this??

Please try closing Max and deleting all 'iToo' and 'ForestPack' .mcr files from this folder:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsmax\<max version>\ENU\usermacros
Then reinstall Forest in the usual way. Hopefully that should fix the error.
