3DS Max can't create any new objects

[lazardanilovic]

Hi everyone, first of all sorry if i missed the category, but after searching all over i couldn't fix the problem i have.

I literally can't create anything, any objects, cameras, forestpack, literally any object in 3DS Max, i suspect it happened after i imported another model into a scene. I tried reseting the preferences, reseting the controller to default aswell but nothing seems to help. I want to point out that this is only a case on a specific scene, new ones and other scenes i have work propertly.

So if anyone has any idea on how to fix this it would be a lifesaver, thanks!

Make sure the home grid is active, as opposed to a secondary grid you may have created before.

Oh my god, i can not believe i did not think of that, that was it! Thank you very much, i feel very embarrassed now lol

Hm, you still should be able to create any object if a custom grid is active, just make sure that you're drawing it on grid plane, same as with regular (home) grid.

I think the problem was that i was constantly trying to create it in a top view, and my grid was set up for a really weird angle.
