Hi there,

I tried some features of the Pwr_Sketch tool and after some operations the sketch turned out to be screwed up somehow. If it is not selected, it displays as a square, but when selected, then I see the real curve and verts of the sketch. I tried to add an Pwr_Extrude and this will also just build a cube out of the square. Please have a look in the max file (Version 2009 SP1).

EDIT: Just tried to work with the scene again and MAX crashed...

The problem it appears is you ran some of the Edge operations (Trim, Split, Join) with Reference Originals enabled. You then probably deleted the actual sketch. This leaves you with the Reference (blue sketch), but without an actual sketch. In return Pwr_Sketch has created an error shape the box. That is why you can't access the box vertices, but you can effect the Reference vertices. Easy way to prove this is change to Edge mode and try to select something, there is no actual edge to select.

Hope that makes some sense,
