Problem

Description:

I'm not able to plant guides on a mesh without crashing the Max file.  Using Max 2015 and latest build of OX 4.  It's very simple to reproduce so I can create a test file for you if it works on your end.

Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Create a sphere
  2. Convert to Editable Mesh
  3. Add OX Hair from Surface mod
  4. Add OX Edit Guides
  5. Plant a new guide
  6. Exit modifier

I tried to follow the steps exactly but no crash happens here. What do you mean by "Exit modifier"?

Basically just exit the roots mode of the modifier to select something different.  Just tried and it did it again.  I uploaded a test scene.  If you just plant a guide then click the plant button again it crashes.  At least for me.

Tried it with the scene and the latest official build but all works well here. See attached video, maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Looks like you're doing it right.  I do notice you're using Max 2016.  Can you try it in 2015?  Maybe that's the difference.

Indeed. I asked Michael to try, maybe he'll have better luck outside of 2016.
