I am tring, without sucess, to create a face in the 3d editor with pxp_create_item(). The create function ruturns OK, but when I go to draw the new item, 3ds r4 crashes. This happens even if I use pxp_get_item to get an item's structure, then delete/erase the original item, and then give pxp_create_item the old item's structure to create a duplicate of it. It even crashes if I don't redraw the object using the pxp function, but exit my pxp, and use the menus to "redraw all". In other wor2ds, it seems to create it OK, but then dies when it tries to show it. If I do all of this and use pxp_change_item, everything seems to work fine, but I wish to create an original object-just a simple face. I am using 3ds r4, with the r4 ipas developer kit and HIGHC v3.11. I would also like to get on LIB17(the ipas developers section), my dev# is sw0220.
