Title:Baked Guides broken in Ox Symmetry guides after I reload file

Problem

Description:

Hi, 

When I y reopened my file the baked guides that had symetry on them are broken.

I tried baking again, I tried converting to hairs, then back to guides and baking, also tried grounding strands again just in case. It bakes all right, the geometry is the same I have used for grooming (a clone). But when reopening, anything that had an Ox Symetry modifier is broken, sadly, half of the character. 

I had a similar issue some versions ago. I have recently updated my 3dsmax to 2019 and Ornatrix to V6 (last update from June) hoping everything would go much smoother.

Please let me know if there is something more I can do, having baked guides working is vital since I won't be able to move or even finish the character otherwise. That's why I set it to "Critical" on Category

 

Steps to Reproduce:

For example, for eyebrows.

I make guides just for the eyebrow

I edit them with Ox Edit guides

I add an Ox Symmetry modifier so I have the other eyebrow, (grounding the new strands)

I add Hairs from guides and do grooming as usual

I "collapse to" from below Hairs from guides so I have Baked Guides. All fine until now.

Save, Reload file, and the guides created with Symmetry are broken

For the moment I think I found a way of solving this, I'm posting it in case this happens to others.

When you use Ox Symmetry do not Ground the strands

Instead ground strands with Ox Ground strands modifiers and uncheck rotations, then collapse.

For the moment is loading my file all right.

Hopefully this helps someone, 

Thanks

Hi Fulensio,

I'm looking into this. Can you send me your scene for testing? If so, please send a stripped down version of it to jeordanis.f (at) ephere .com.
