Undo is broken?

Hello, I have noticed that the undo feature for any of the brush tools is not working.

 

I was editing character hair when I accidentally selected and used the wrong brush which screwed up all the hair, but undoing it did nothing, which completely ruined all the work. After some testing I found that while in root mode the undo still functions as normal, but does not work at all after brushing.

Is this a known bug? Using latest version Max 2022.1. Thanks for any help

Hi, 

I tested with the latest nightly build of Ornatrix on Max 2020. It seems to be working fine. All the brushes can be undone correctly. Please try the latest nightly and let me know if the issue persist.

Hello, I tried using the latest version (7.2.3.28071) and it is still not working. Perhaps it is related to the Max 2022 Ornatrix plugin as that is what I use. It also seems that the groups color display is also not working, as all the guides appear black, even when selected (there is no indication they are selected, though it shows the number of guides selected)

I just tried this in Max 2022 with latest Ornatrix:

Created a plane, added Ox Guides From Surface to it, then Ox Edit Guides. In Root mode enabled Use Guide Groups, used Asign Unique to create 3 groups, they appeared properly colored in the viewport.
Switched to Brush mode, combed the guides once, then Undo.

Everything seems to work properly with a simple fresh setup.

Could you please try if these simple steps work for you or not?

If they work, could you provide more info about your setup, maybe a simplified version of your scene, along with steps to reproduce the problem?

Thank you for responding, I tried the simple steps you suggested, the undo works again however it still displays only black lines when anything is selected. I have attached a short video that shows this.

The undo still does not work for my character project, however, after experimenting and adding another edit guides modifier, the undo does work on the second edit guides on top of it, but still does not work on the lower one on the stack, which is strange.

Hey Samo,

Looks like you forgot to attach the video or it didn't load correctly. 

Also, as Ivan suggested, we would need a simplified version of your scene for testing.

Oops, I will try uploading again. I have also included a video of attempting to undo brushing in the attached MAX scene which does not work, and how adding another edit guides on top is the only way to get it working again. Thank you for looking into the issue!
