render element crashes max 2017

[Muadib]

this happens without fail on my system:

- add some render element while corona is set as render engine
- switch to scanline
- click on "add new element".
- crash

disregard this bug report.
turns out it has nothing to do with corona render elements.

it happens to me every time i click "add render elements" in max.

f*ckin autodesk man.

Got the same problem today. I can´t add Render Elements on Max 2017 using Scanline. Instant Crash. I need Scanline to render Masks faster. Is there a Way to setup corona to just render render masks with very few passes (maybe one) ? The edges are fuzzy if i set Corona passes too low.

it is not just 2017 problem. I was able to reproduce it in other 3dsmax versions. There is some bug that usually does not  manifest. But if you have bad luck, it will crash your 3ds max. Nobody fixed it for last 5 years.

Maybe it's the "hit render elements button" counter exceeding 4 billion? ;)

   I Got sort of the same problem. here the fault is related to RedShift Demo installed. I´ve tested on another machine without it installed and worked. Then i´ve installed RedShift demo and got the same crashes when changing from any render to Scanline and hit the button to Add Render Element. Curious that on the past Octane Demo causes the SAME crash.

    Here i got it solved uninstalled redshift demo.
