Hello Gary / Jack, I was lofting away to my hearts content lastnight when I ran into a weird problem. I was going back and forth between the 3d editor and lofter trying to get an object right using two fit shapes when the fit grid windows decided to take a vacation! I needed to check the fit shapes but when I hit "Deform/fit…" the display did'nt change. If I hit a fit command such as changing the sym. then I'd get a message telling me to select a fit window. Preview worked fine and did use the fit shapes, and all the other deform windows were there (scale, twist, etc.), but the Fit X and Fit Y windows could not be accessed in any way. I tried switching between modules… no change, reset and reloaded the loft file, no change. After exiting the program and starting over it returned to normal. Weird. Anyway, its fine now but I was wondering if you've heard of this kinda thing before. Thanks, David P.S. 2.0, Panacea display, rendering to Targa.

David, that was a bug that was fixed in 2.01. You probably saved your 3ds file at some point from the lofter while the deform grids were up. You should definitely be using 2.01/2.01A anyway. Get the upgrade! – G
