Thank you for posting Sbfhhh.

I am getting the same crash that you describe on my machine. We will look into a fix for this bug and post any new information here.

Unfortunately at the moment I do not see any quick workarounds. However, you can reproduce the sliced sphere effect with the following procedure:

1) Create a sphere
2) Use the Power Sketch tool in line mode to draw a triangle.
3) Use the Power Extrude tool on the sketch to get a wedge surface
4) Line up the wedge with the sphere.
4) Select the sphere, activate the Power Booleans tool, select subtract, and pick the wedge shape.

Thanks for your reply. I really hope to see a fix soon

We've found and fixed the source of the bug. The Max 2010 version of the nPower tools will include the fix. The fix should make it into updates for nPower tools for previous versions of 3ds Max as well. Thanks again for pointing this one out to us!
