My DELETE button stops working.

I have been reporting this on the AD forum for months. I am currently using the latest plugin and am still having the issue.

There is probably another plugin causing this for you. My guess is that there is a bug in 3dsmax that is triggered by a specific script/code. FP/RC have changed/removed this part and thus the 3dsmax cx error does not occur. However, another plugin can do it.

I only have a few plugins, the two primary ones being RC/FP. I could not delete this morning, so the issue is still lingering. It would be odd that it is a known iToo issue and is still an issue for some users after a fix was released.

We found a specific combination of Forest and RailClone lister which may trigger this issue, even with latest updates.
We are actually testing a fix. If everything is correct, it will be included in next FP/RC updates.

Until then, if your Delete key stop working, try opening Forest or RailClone lister, focus it (clicking the window) and then select again in the scene. That should fix it.

Hi ,
Delete button still doesn't work most of the time. Even after the latest updates .
VRAY 7 GPU
3DS MAX 2024

I didn't update to the latest version yet as my maintenance subscription ended a day before the bug got fixed. Just like the year before when we were plagued by the terrible slowdown bug that locked a thread when using multiple Max instances - in all honesty these are terrible bugs from iToo just as this one is. I thought iToo was a bit better than that, but the latest releases really mess with Max and this should not happen imho.

Anyway I created this macroscript (see attached) to workaround it and I bound it to the following shortcut: SHIFT + DELETE, this way I can keep working and I don't need to restart Max every time I want to delete an object in the viewport. I called it UberDelete.
