Problem

Description:

When clicking the new retarget changes max will crash. It happens when we open a scene with fur already there.

Steps to Reproduce:

open the scene, change the number of hair count in the guide from surface modifier. then click the "retarget changes" button in the edit guides modifier and max will crash.

Already fixed in latest nightly

ok thanks Marsel I have 5.1.5.11276 I'll try the latest one.

It's not crashing anymore now. But one thing that is still a bit annoying is that if open the scene, change the number of generated roots and then press the retarget changes button, it will not retarget the hair. I have to first use the comb brush to just touch the hair at least one click and then the process will work. It's like there is no cache of the combing on the edit 

Correct, at the moment the retarget changes option saves the shape of guides whenever they are edited. These changes are not saved with the scene. I suppose they can be saved, but this option is mostly meant to be used during editing.
