I am brand new to modeling and I am working on my first project in Gmax so excuse me if this is a stupid question. Unfortunately, I ran into an interesting problem lately. I had a wing done and decided to hide it in order to work on a part of the fuselage. After finishing up what I was doing on the Fuse, I tried to unhide the wing. Nothing happened. I have hit every single unhide button I could find to no avail. The part, named "WingL" shows up on the parts list and I have even tried to do Edit->Select->By Name and it selects the part but no brackets around the part show up, etc. What could I be missing? Any help would be appreciated.

Never had that problem!? tell me, when you hide/unhide other parts, do they also disappear? if not, I guess it could be possible that you've accidentally deleted the part, and left behind a node or two, which is why the part is in the part list, but not visible?

the hidden stuff are here, make sure that nothing of this is set

Thanks for the quick response.
I must have deleted it by accident then because hiding/unhinding every other part works normally. I guess now the question becomes if it would be more work to redo the wing root or merge the wing from the last save point I had it [smiley=undecided.gif]

Alrot - Thanks for the idea but I have already tried that with no luck

Sorry if this question is too old, but I thought that I might interject with a helping hand:

Select the object normally (Part list-->object) and go to sub-object poly selection mode.  Now right-click in one of the viewports and click "Unhide All (Mesh)".  There have been several times where I have unwittingly hidden the actual geometry of the object, only to find that it's still there later on when I convert!

Again, sorry if this is too late, but it may help the next poor sap that comes along searching for the answer!
